We carry art at its most precious.
Since 2013, Simurg Fine Art has protected the works of museums, galleries and collectors end to end — survey, custom crating, climate-controlled transport, installation and insurance.
A specialist that safeguards art.
Simurg Fine Art Logistics & Consultancy was founded in 2013 by Gürsel Doğanay, who began his career in art logistics in 1987. For over 25 years our team has led the survey, design, planning and execution of moving historical artifacts and contemporary works.
We treat every work not merely as an object, but as cultural heritage — with precision, discretion and expertise.
