Hi, my name is NICHOLAS MERKELSON.
I am a Collections and Cultural Heritage Management Specialist. I oversee large collections of fine art, historical objects, archival material, archaeological finds, and more. I am an expert in documenting cultural resources for posterity.
I am an Art World Professional with diverse experience across the industry. I have worked in museums and institutions, galleries, and auction houses; in art services as a handler, shipper, and logistics manager; and as a consultant and advisor.
