The functions of museum display cabinets are twofold: firstly, to showcase the beauty of cultural relics, and secondly, to protect the treasures of cultural relics. The basic function determines the quality requirements for cultural relics display cabinets. With the development of the times, the advancement of technology, and the application of new materials, the cultural and museum industry at home and abroad has increasingly stringent requirements for cultural relics display cabinets, and has put forward more stringent requirements and technical indicators in meeting the needs of cultural relics storage, display, protection, and security.
Key points of museum display cabinet design: 1. Temperature and humidity: Having a certain temperature and humidity for display cabinets is a necessary and basic protective measure for cultural relics. Cultural relics that are sensitive to temperature, such as paintings, textiles, bamboo, wood, lacquerware, bone, oil paintings, murals, natural leather, etc., can cause serious consequences such as wrinkling, deformation, and cracking if there is unstable temperature and humidity in the display cabinet. Museums should always bear in mind the important responsibility of protecting cultural relics while displaying them, and should not display or exhibit them at the expense of damaging them. Cultural relics are non renewable carriers of cultural heritage and should be protected at all costs.
2. Closure: A display cabinet with good sealing performance can effectively control the temperature and humidity, prevent dust and harmful substances from entering, and ensure the purity of the air, which plays a very important role in the protection of cultural relics inside the cabinet. In fact, the sealing performance is one of the important indicators to measure the quality of display cabinets. For cultural relics such as calligraphy, painting, silk fabrics, etc., in order to achieve constant temperature and humidity inside the cabinet, the display cabinet must have good sealing.
