For a client I am trying to find freestanding display cases
that are high enough security to hold museum objects and can be fitted with
climate control equipment, yet are demountable and modular so they can be
reconfigured and/or relocated periodically (not frequently, though) by their
regular maintenance staff or even packed up and moved to storage if not needed.
They seem to be somewhat willing to sacrifice uninterrupted viewing area
for this type of flexibility. They would also prefer not to have the kind of
case that has to be accessed by entirely removing a panel using suction cups—a
hinged panel is better for them.
I have information on two competing products that I think
might fit the client’s needs as they have expressed them, but would
appreciate product recommendations and caveats from the museum field. I
would rather not mention the products right away because I would like to hear
what you all think first. Please feel free to contact me off-list for
confidentiality if you prefer. Thank you in advance for your information.
Best,
