Shanghai Natural History Museum

For the Shanghai Natural History Museum, Relicase’s major challenge is the irregular museum showcases, such as irregular polygonal and circular arc display cases. They require extremely high machining accuracy on sheet metals, glass, aluminum profile frames among others. Furthermore, the design of the opening structure must be clever and well-thought through to secure the motion path of irregular glass.

The Shanghai Natural History Museum, a branch of the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum, was our first project with a massive natural history museum. Compared to relics and heritage museums, natural history museums require display cases which are extremely huge or of different shapes with an extra-high load carrying capacity. This is because the dimensions of exhibits may differ from very small, in the case of butterfly specimens to ultra-big like megafauna specimens or skeletal fossils; or the weights of exhibits may differ from light as with feather or fur specimens to heavy as with large-scale geological specimens. Due to the presence of a great number of colour-rich specimen exhibits, restoring their original colours is necessary when introducing an illumination system. Besides, beautiful colours are needed to create an amazing display atmosphere and the colours and materials of case surfaces must be selected carefully before a final decision is made. For cases with a high probability of interaction with viewers, nterrelated structures must be calculated accurately on these display cases for purpose of installation of multimedia devices.

Protection and functional requirements for museum showcases

The museum showcases is a must-have booth for today’s merchants. It is a good saying. People rely on clothes and clothes to rely on gold. The products and people all need to dress up and support to highlight its superior place. Museum Showcase Functional Requirements. The Museum Showcase is a museum-specific equipment used to display and preserve cultural relics. Its functions must meet the requirements of cultural relics exhibition, protection requirements and operational requirements:

The shape and scale of the museum showcase should meet the requirements. The scale error should be controlled within plus or minus 1.5mm; the work should be precise, the appearance should be no silk, and the gaps and lines should be flush and even.

All materials used in museum showcases should use environmental protection materials and provide relevant inspection statements to avoid pollution damage to cultural relics.

The exhibition space of the museum showcase should be a completely closed structure, avoiding the pollution particles entering the display space to ensure the environmental constancy of the cultural relics, and the air communication rate inside the space should be controlled within 20%.

In order to ensure the safety of cultural relics, the locks used in the display cabinets should have certain anti-theft characteristics, and the keys should be equipped according to the management requirements.

The display cases glass should be laminated with ultra-white high-transparent glass. The glass surface should not be scratched. It can accept the impact of 50kg. Even if the glass is broken, it should not cause damage to the cultural relics and the audience; the glass transmittance should reach More than 90%, the most realistic color of the cultural relics should be displayed to the audience.
