Best Museum Display Cases With Drawers
Museum display cases with drawers offer a perfect combination of look-down storage and high security. These units are particularly useful for small, possibly high value, one-sided exhibits such as coins, medals, archaeology, entomology, geology and textiles. The drawers are closed and protected from light, except when they are open, reducing exposure levels for items stored within the case.
A drawer cabinet can be placed on a freestanding pedestal or mounted or recessed into a wall. These cabinets are used by museums, schools, galleries and other institutions to provide visitors with a more hands-on experience with their collections or artifacts. These units can be locked with a keyed alike lock, providing added peace of mind to those looking after the most valuable objects or materials.
There are many different types of display cases, each with its own unique benefits. For example, glass museum-quality display cases are stronger and offer a more complete view than acrylic cases. They are also easier to clean and can be made in larger dimensions than those that use acrylic glazing. Glass museum-quality display cases are also more self-supporting, which results in less flexing or bowing where the gaskets press against the panes.
The flat file drawer cabinet can also be fitted with a transparent glass top, allowing visitors to view the contents of the drawers. This option is very popular with museums as it provides guests with a unique way to interact with and explore a collection of artifacts without having to remove them from the case. It is also ideal for educational or outreach programs where students can get hands-on with artifacts that may be too fragile for touch.
