  • What exhibits- A museum display case is applicable to any different exhibit? Wrong! The design of museum display cases is customized and personalized according to accurate exhibits with different dimensions,different material and different features.
  • What structure-Frameless structure or framed structure? Not weaken safety and security but frame-less structure brings no sight obstruction for undistorted reveal so customized frameless and all-glass display cases are trending to replace outdated framed display cases with mullions.
  • What protection-Only physical protection or both physical and chemical protection? More and more museums prefer to have both protection so it's required museum display cases should be not only physically anti-bandit but also be far from being damaged by any pollutant or any chemical reaction.Under this condition,the air-tightness with minimal air exchange rate less than 0.1/24H and customized micro-climate system for right humidity and temperature gets more and more important.
  • What material-Acrylic for display space+wood structure or safety glass+metal structure? For museum grade display cases,anti-bandit glass or sometimes anti-reflective safety glass and metal structure including steel skeleton and glass-receiving aluminum profile is specially customized to build a safe display volume and robust structure support.To have a purified internal display volume,it's not that all the materials in the market can be selected to build museum grade display cases,and all the materials especially the materials that will be exposed to exhibits need to be completely inert and/or friendly-environment.
  • What illumination-Traditional lighting system or protective lighting system? Traditional lighting system like halogen lamp or fluorescent light will bring irreversible damage to exhibits,especially light-sensitive exhibits but customized lighting system with IR/UV/heat isolation system and/or with discrete light projector or cold light source will eradicate light damage on exhibits.
  • What opening-A same opening system can work well for different display cases? No! Hinged opening,pull & slide opening or lift-up opening ? Manual opening,motor-driven opening or remote wireless opening? A right opening system is specially customized on the basis of customized structure of display cases,and also for convenient exhibition's setting up and for the safety of museum operator.
