Demountable/Modular Showcases:

Increased museum participation in temporary and traveling exhibitions has led to the development of demountable and modular cases, the latest generations of which can have the same levels of conservation and security as permanent cases. The key features of these cases are that they can be quickly and easily dismantled and reassembled. In addition to this, the modules can be formed into different case sizes and shapes to suit changing object requirements and provide maximum flexibility for the museum. These case types should have the option of a glass top or integral lighting hood and should be able to offer a full range of lighting and shelving options. Another important aspect of these types of cases is the provision of a secure and sturdy crate for transportation and the availability of spare parts for at least ten years.
