How to design museum display cases?


We all know that China has a long history and a rich cultural heritage, and each historical period has its own historical site museum that showcases the achievements of that era. But how should we display the important design artifacts in museum display cases? I suggest considering the following factors when designing exhibition halls:

1.Regional factors: This involves the overall layout, dimensions, and environment. Each display case may have different sizes and environments, which affect the display effect. The environment also includes the elements and components of the display case lighting to showcase color harmony and the items. Museum displays should suit the characteristics of the museum and consider the visitors' experience. This requires not only thinking about the issue but also following certain principles to evoke higher emotional value for the exhibited items.

2.Aesthetic elements: Just like when talking about cuisine, there is a term called "food aesthetics." Similarly, to a large extent, some people try to achieve visual satisfaction by following an unbalanced attempt. Regarding aesthetics within the United States, this is challenging. In other words, American aesthetics are different from individuals' perceptions, but there are some numbers and situations that express human thinking about aesthetics. For example, circular triangles are considered more beautiful, and curves have more flexibility and highlights. Conversely, relatively sharp triangles and lines can trigger warning signals. If it aligns with the exhibition theme, aesthetic elements should reflect these styles.

3.Display elements: Similar to garnishes in cuisine that add movement or visual attraction, some modern museum display cases serve as decorative elements to captivate the audience's attention. Using display cases to showcase personality can transform static visual information into elements that allow people to experience the charm of cultural heritage.

4.Display case materials and structure: The materials and structure of display cases have a crucial impact on the protection and display effect of artifacts. For example, different exhibits require different display environments, and fragile cultural relics may need special materials and designs to ensure their safety and stability. In addition, the design of display cases should also consider factors such as lighting and temperature, which can affect the artifacts, ensuring the maximum preservation and display effect.


5.Display layout and presentation methods: The display layout and presentation methods are essential in exhibition design. They can make cultural relics more vivid and stimulate the audience's interest and curiosity. The display layout needs to consider various factors such as the characteristics and quantity of exhibits, the size and shape of the exhibition hall, to avoid monotony and overcrowding. Presentation methods can be diverse, including multimedia, interactive elements, models, images, etc., to enhance audience engagement and interactivity, improving the attractiveness and educational value of the exhibition.


6.Safety and protection measures: Safety and protection measures are equally important in exhibition design as they relate to the safety and long-term preservation of cultural relics. During the exhibition design process, considerations should be given to the safety of exhibits, such as fire prevention, theft prevention, waterproofing, and shock resistance, to ensure the best protection for cultural relics. Additionally, exhibition design should also consider the daily protection and maintenance of exhibits, including regular inspections, cleaning, restoration, and replacement of display cases, ensuring the preservation and display effect of the artifacts.

In summary, thorough planning and consideration are necessary during the early stages of museum exhibition design. It requires a comprehensive assessment of factors such as exhibits, exhibition halls, presentation methods, safety, and protection to ensure the best display and preservation effects for artifacts. Only through careful planning and design can a more vivid, captivating, and educational exhibition be created, allowing visitors to not only appreciate the cultural relics but also gain enriched knowledge and experiences.
