Abstract:
Museum display cases are usually one of the most expensive parts in museum interior design and
furniture; museum display cases are very special and have a lot of limitations in the selection of
used materials. Usually, even the micrometer environment in museum shelves and display cases
should be valuable in the primary control of a collection (1). The protected manuscripts in
museums are particularly vulnerable in terms of vulnerability and difficulty in maintaining. The
mechanisms of damage and preventive protection of these works and their changes over time
depend entirely on environmental conditions (2). Display cases, as a means of protection, protect
the works by increasing the security of the objects and confining them in an appropriate, stable and
secure environment (3 and 4). In general, four main groups of factors cause damage to the
manuscripts: 1- Physical factors 2- Chemical factors 3- Biological factors 4- Unexpected factors
(5), each of which imposes specific requirements in the design and manufacture of display cases for
protection. Due to the specific circumstances of these works, these requirements need to be
collected and formulated in a purposeful way for the design of the display cases. This article has
attempted to clarify what features each display case must have in order to be stable and to protect a manuscript by reviewing specialized texts, authoritative articles, and library resources. Finally, an
example of an appropriate design based on the stated conditions is examined.
Machine summary:
In general, four main groups of factors cause damage to the manuscripts: 1- Physical factors 2- Chemical factors 3- Biological factors 4- Unexpected factors (5), each of which imposes specific requirements in the design and manufacture of display cases for protection.
We also look at the display case function by examining types of light sources needed to illuminate stand space, as well as the protective measures required to create a standard display case.
Main Nature of the Display Case To preserve all the objects that represent the history and culture of a nation, manuscripts are part of these works, so it is natural to need a place designed for this purpose (Cassar and Martin, 1994; Cassar, 1995), because if these objects, exposed to destruction over time, are kept in an inappropriate place, they are affected easily by any external factor and they are deformed from its original form and may even be completely destroyed (Watts and Crombie, 2007).
In type A display cases, there is no problem about damage caused by artificial light for objects.
E) Structural Panels: These panels are made instead of glass and can be used for further reinforcement of large display cases; they provide a higher level of security for fixed components or support additional components such as shelves or lighting systems.
In general, the display case as a case and small environment for the work should be designed to be equipped with an absolute light system, protected against dust and with temperature and humidity control.
