WANGDA SHOWCASES is awarded with the museum showcase contract for Zaamin History Museum in Uzbekistan, to customize high-standard conservation grade museum showcases for this renowned museum in Middle Asia.

The Zaamin History Museum was established on November 12, 1993, by decision of the Jizzakh regional administration, by local activists to study the history of the district. The museum was founded on May 18, 1994, on the occasion of International Museum Day. Under the auspices of the regional inspectorate for the protection of cultural heritage sites, the museum building underwent major renovations, and the exhibition hall was equipped according to modern requirements. It is planned to enrich the museum with new archaeological finds by participating in excavations of ancient monuments in the Zaamin district.

Exhibits

The antiquity of the exhibits in the museum’s collection dates back to the 3rd century BC and up to the beginning of the last century, and includes exhibits from such periods as the Kushan kingdom, the Karakhanid state, and the Arab conquest of Central Asia. The finds mainly consist of ceramic items, bones, and tools found in the territory of Mazartepa, Kultepa, Jartepa, and several other monuments. There are exhibits related to the clothing and customs of the peoples who lived on the 18th-19th century Zaamin hills.

Interesting facts

The museum building was originally built in 1909 for the officers’ assembly of the garrison of the troops of the Russian Empire, as a forpost of the empire on the Turkestan border. During the Soviet era, the building was used in different years as a military hospital, a shop, an administrative building, and a maternity hospital. After a century of exploitation, the building’s condition deteriorated, requiring restoration work. In 2013, it underwent reconstruction by the Ministry of Culture.

The newly upgraded “Exhibition of Excavated Ancient Corpses in Xinjiang” at the Museum of Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region has constructed an anthropological map of the Western Regions spanning 3000 years through 12 ancient corpse specimens. Due to the relatively strict preservation environment of ancient corpses, in order to create a minimal oxygen and constant humidity environment, at the time of customizing museum display cases/museum showcases for these ancient corpses, on the basis of advanced sealing technology to ensure museum showcases’ air exchange rate ≤ 0.05d-1,  WANGDA SHOWCASES adopted the latest nitrogen protection technology of museum showcase microclimate control system by injecting nitrogen gas to replace air so oxygen is effectively isolated, which suppresses oxidation reactions, maintains dryness to curb microbial growth, and blocks the invasion of external pollutants, as a result, the decay and decay of ancient corpses are delayed.

In the east hall of Shanghai Museum,  the exhibition hall with Creation in South of Yangtze River as theme(all the museum showcases/museum display cases are customized by WANGDA SHOWCASES) ingeniously integrates tradition and modernity for showcasing the delicacy and elegance of craftsmanship in South of Yangtze River with exquisite spatial layout and ingenious application of natural light so it seems that each exhibit tells the story in South of Yangtze River.

The color matching of museum display cases/museum showcases is mainly elegant, with white or light gray as backgrounds to highlight the color and texture of the exhibits. The lighting design makes the color temperature and brightness flexibly adjustable according to the characteristics of the exhibits so as to achieve the best display effect. The dedicated silica gel cassettes are placed invisibly in a discrete and concealed box with air circulation with internal display space through an invisible ventilation vents, additionally the airtightness is extraordinary so the humidity inside museum showcases/museum display cases is stably maintained and the environment where the historical artefacts initially existed is simulated so the lifetime of the historical artefacts is effectively extended. Meanwhile, remote-controlled monitoring systems inside museum display cases/museum showcases carries on realtime monitoring on the air quality so the excellent preservation condition is achieved for historical objects.
