Museums play a key role in the preservation and dissemination of culture and knowledge. They can exhibit works of art, documents, photographs, historical artifacts or even plants and trees. Although today there are entirely virtual exhibition spaces, the primary functions of traditional museums are the conservation and protection of objects, which are invaluable due to their historical relevance, rarity or market value. From simple “Do not touch” signs to tape, security guards, or glass displays, each object receives a type of protection that is in accordance to its needs. These types of protection, in turn, must consider both the safety of the object, whilst also allowing for its appreciation and conservation, creating a controlled environment for the exposed object that preserves it indefinitely.
Goppion is a company that engineers and manufactures exhibition display cases to provide the most appropriate solutions for the proper conservation and protection of objects. Its portfolio includes some of the most famous artistic and cultural treasures in the world, including the Mona Lisa, the Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom and the Dead Sea Scrolls. The company recently worked on the renovation of the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building, part of The New York Public Library, where unique display cases were developed for exclusive documents and historical items of significant importance to the country.
