AstaGuru has been a leader in working with museums and non-profit institutions for over three decades. We were the first auction house to create a department dedicated to serving these organizations’ unique needs. Our experienced team partners with institutions large and small, including historical societies, libraries, universities and art museums—both encyclopedic and niche in scope. We handle projects of every size and subject matter, from single objects to large collections, from antiquities to historical manuscripts, from decorative arts to contemporary art.

We have been honored to play a role in helping institutions shape their collections through acquisitions and are proud to partner with them to achieve exceptional results for their works offered at auction or through private sales. We are also committed to working with our institutional clients to cultivate their patrons through educational events and programming.
