The museum has always used the historical and cultural products collected and displayed in the museum. Through the display of the public, it has provided the public with historical and cultural education of appreciation and education, which has provided a historical process for the development of society.

The most important thing in the museum is the products and safety precautions exhibited. The historical and cultural products on display are the soul of the museum, and safety is the best guarantee for the existence of the museum.

Modern museum showcases have a certain physical stability and can withstand sufficient load-bearing. The museum showcases is for display, then the exhibits will be placed in the showcase. Since the general museum showcases will display different products, and some products are very large, you must find them when producing the showcases. Can bear a certain weight.

The materials used in the cabinets of the museum showcases must be sturdy and durable. The support plates of the showcase must be fixed. A fixed card can fix the showcase to make it secure. Because the general museum can be close to watch, sometimes visitors will touch or collide. If the museum showcase is not strong, if the visitors fall, it will most likely cause the showcase to rupture, thus affecting the exhibits in the showcase. . Therefore, it must be ensured that the showcase will not cause harm to the audience and staff.

Museum showcases should be fireproof and burglarproof, which is the most important function of the showcase. Museum exhibitions are generally historical products or very valuable works of art, and the value is very expensive. Therefore, the museum showcases should have a strong anti-theft function. The general showcases are protected from theft by installing anti-theft glass, but as high-value exhibits, the anti-theft of the showcase is the ultimate, the fire alarms, vibration alarms and monitors in the showcase, and the police station can be connected. Safety equipment is the most effective safety precautions available today.

The latest trends in museum showcase development

The museum showcases has basically no fixed style in its shape and function, but as the manufacturer should understand the development trend of the times and the customers’ love and needs, only by satisfying the needs of customers can the products be widely introduced to the market and get customers.

In the shape design of the showcases, it is no longer a single boring box exhibition. The simple and clear display cases is loved by many people. On the one hand, the simple display cabinet design can save costs, and at the same time, the processing cycle can be greatly shortened. On the other hand, simplicity is also a kind of beauty, and it is also a popular trend of the times.

The retro-style showcases can bring visitors’ thoughts to the era of creation of cultural relics, arousing the curiosity of the visitors, making the visitors seem to return to the distant storyline, slowly pondering and savoring. In order to achieve the best results.

All in all, the museum showcases must adapt to the needs of the times, as well as the taste of the audience, in the production process, or accurately grasp the latest developments of the museum showcases.

Museum display cases production process requirements

The Museum display cases need to meet the production process requirements of four items: protection of cultural relics technical requirements, safety and technical requirements of cultural relics, aesthetic visual requirements, the actual operation of the use of technical requirements.

Museum display cases are the space facilities in which museums display cultural artifacts with the most realistic attitude and artistic appeal. The museum is a place for arts and cultural activities that integrate advanced technology and dense information. The art collection of cultural relics is a representative of the museum. With the rapid development of science and technology in modern society, the requirements for the production of the Museum showcases are getting higher and higher. Showcases in today’s museums are also highly valued artworks. It is also the last line of defense for the protection of cultural relics collections.

The types of showcases used in the display and storage of different cultural relics are also very different. At the same time, we also need to comprehensively consider the requirements of display design, the type of cultural relics, the characteristics of the architectural structure, the location of the relics, the long-term planning of the exhibition hall, and many other factors. Heritage showcase type. This is the basis of our initial work.

Johnson & Johnson Pavilion – Beijing 2008 Olympics

Five pieces of The Terracotta Warriors from Emperor Qin Shihuang (Qin Dynasty: 221 to 206 BC) were exhibited during the Beijing Olympic Games 2008 at the Johnson & Johnson Olympic Exhibition Center in Olympic Park. These actual size genuine artifacts include a standing as well as a kneeling warrior figurine, two officers and a fully restored figurine which was originally in fragmented pieces.

Relicase designed and utilized all-glass frameless museum showcases, to match the overall style of the pavilion. Due to the large size of the display showcases and in consideration of the need for repeated use of these showcases, the showcases were made as detachable units. These showcases were also designed to bear the combined weight of the heavy artifacts as well as the workers and curators putting up this exhibition. After the Beijing Olympic Games, the showcases were donated to the Museum of The Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Emperor Qin Shihuang. We also provided the services of detaching the showcases in Beijing and transporting them to Xi’an.

Shanghai World Expo Museum

For Shanghai World Expo Museum, Relicase’s Museum showcases were beyond the requirement and expectation of the museum. In collaborating closely with the expert team from Shanghai Museum on the modification, and improvement of the final design proposals, we developed a set of air quality and humidity control methods to meet the requirements for the display environment of international museums.

Shanghai World Expo Museum and Urban Footprint Museum bring together a collection of hundreds of precious cultural relics from all over the world. To protect this collection during the World Expo, we cooperated with the key research base of SACH Cultural Relics Bureau to carry out strict testing on all the materials used in our exhibit cases and provided samples for testing the air-tightness of the cases while engaging in the solution design.

Prior to this, invaluable experience was gained through our involvement in providing services for large-scale events such as the 2008 Olympics. In the World Expo project, our project management capabilities were fully tested and well received.
