Museums attempt to give visitors reasonable access to their collections, while preserving objects for the enjoyment and use of future generations. Exhibition cases are designed to provide visual access to museum objects, while protecting them from accidental damage, theft, vandalism, dust, ultraviolet light, environmental pollutants, extreme relative humidity, and temperature fluctuations. A well-designed, functional exhibition case is thus an integral part of a successful exhibit, making it the object of intense focus and often heated debate among an exhibit’s numerous stakeholders: art handlers, building managers, curators, conservators, designers, engineers, fabricators, scientists, and security officers, among others. The processes described in this paper are a result of an exemplary collaboration between conservators and fabricators to address the persistent problem of VOCs emitted by wood by applying principles of sustainability to high-tech solutions.
