And each exhibiting unit becomes a focus itself.

We equipped the Ancient Maqiao Culture Exhibition hall with two types of museum display cases: freestanding display cases and tabletop display cases.

Freestanding display cases are built on iron frame plinths with internal level adjustment. Laminated glass adopted here to filter out up to 96% of UV radiation. The fixed part of cases is sealed with top brand-neutral glues, while openings are lined with ultra-thin silicone strips.

Table top display cases here didn't adopt cubic glass covers as usual. Instead, we created slope surfaces parallel to the viewers' face. So that they don't need to bend over to look at the exhibits inside.

We are also supplied the built-in wall cases, freestanding display cases, flat cases for the 'The 700 Years of History of Shanghai County'. Our designed received great approval and received high praise from the museum.
