The Challenge: Storing, Protecting, and Displaying Collections
The leadership team at a mid-sized museum recently embarked on an ambitious exhibit design effort. They wanted to allow the public to see and appreciate more of the museum’s collections, so they decided to start bringing more items out of the secure, private collections storage area and out into public view.

The Solution: Illuminated Museum Cabinets
Museum staff chose illuminated Spacesaver’s Viking Preservation Cabinets 920 Series to store military uniforms and weapons. The steel museum cases offer the high-quality, museum grade protection that Spacesaver is known for, as well as the versatility that staff needed in the exhibit space. The cases’ interiors can be reconfigured in the future to display different objects, and the frames can be bolted together or mounted on high-density mobile systems to gain storage capacity in the future. The cabinets lock to ensure security in the public exhibit rooms.
The LED lighting was provided by Spacesaver at the client-specified temperature of 2700K. Because LED lights have no UV or heat output, they don’t damage collections like daylight or incandescent light does.
