<p>Dear Adrian,</p>
<p>did you check with some other museum in your location if they
have a nitrogen chamber?</p>
<p>You might try to reach out with some other conservators from
cultural heritage. This method is very common for treating large
object like furniture.</p>
<p>Here is a German company that offers a lot of great services and
might know some contact in Sweden:

moving material, mostly bones and mounted mammals, from one
external storage facility to another. The facility that we
are evacuating is riddled with pests, mainly the dermestid
Trogoderma angustum, so everything has to undergo some sort
of pest managing procedure before installation at the new
place.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

to fit in available freezing containers or our own walk-in
freezers, and we are struggling to find a way to kill of
pests that are sure to reside in the objects. The biggest

base with a height of 215 cm.
