Lighting

Getting your lighting right is crucial, and we never underestimate its importance. It determines how a visitor perceives, understands and interprets what they see.

But, as custodians of some of humanity’s greatest achievements, we should all tread carefully. Without the right care, understanding and attention, lighting can compromise preventive conservation, causing damage by emitting ultraviolet or infrared radiation and by raising the temperature in the display case.

Like so many aspects of our work, then, it’s a delicate and carefully calibrated balancing act. We use fiber optics and LED lighting (and sometimes a combination of both) to ensure an extremely low sometimes zero level of ultraviolet and infrared emissions. And we also give a great deal of thought to the exact positioning of the lights within the case. We keep your artifacts safe while highlighting them in exactly the way they deserve.

Conservation

We've spent decades developing our knowledge and know-how, and collaborating with the very best research institutions. But on every new project we still spend time understanding exactly what we're dealing with.

Security

The need to protect from theft and vandalism is "safekeeping" in its most immediate sense. As the last line of defence, your display case must be up to the job.

Interior Fittings

Interior fittings fulfil their purpose quietly, even invisibly. They shouldn’t draw attention to themselves. But that doesn’t mean we don’t spend time and effort getting them just right.

Maintenance

We want to support you throughout the life of your display cases, with practical help as well as access to our expertise, knowledge and skills.

Goppion Museum Display Case catalogues are available upon request.
