UNDER COVER:  EXHIBIT CASES THAT PRESERVE
     Thursday, October 19, 2006

A conservation-grade exhibit case is a well-designed and carefully fabricated display enclosure, and an important and cost-effective tool for exhibiting collections. This session will cover assessing the criteria for hazard-free exhibits;  selecting safe exhibit materials and isolation barriers; controlling pollutants; developing safe environmental conditions; and monitoring and maintaining exhibits after installation. Purchasing new cases, as well as retrofitting existing cases, will be discussed. Case studies will be used to illustrate successful and innovative case design from the small institution to the most celebrated museums of the world.
