Showcase construction: Materials and methods used at the museum of London

Abstract

At the Museum of London, a number of permanent galleries have recently been refurbished mainly with cases that have been designed and constructed in‐house (by museum staff or contractors) rather than buying from specialist museum showcase manufacturers. This initiated a programme of testing construction materials, investigating recommended methods for reducing emissions, applying the results and monitoring case environments in use. It was found that with careful preparation, some relatively low‐cost materials can be used. Guidelines on materials such as wood products, barrier coatings and films, paints and graphics are given and preliminary work on venting cases and pollution monitoring is discussed.
