博物馆展柜设计的功能要素考虑展示、安全、操作、保护四个方面。

展示是博物馆展柜设计的基础部分。

大家都知道所谓博物馆，无非是以展示为主，那么作为博物馆展柜设计时要考虑局部与整个格局的统一，每个局部的小主题可以用不同材料和设计风格，但是跟总体设计不能脱节，例如如果是展示江南古韵的博物馆则整体主导是具有江南特色的物体展开，如果放一个星空摇曳的未来世界就显得格格不入，如果是军事博物馆，一般迷彩色为博物馆主色调，放一个江南古韵放进去也是很不协调的。

博物馆大部分是近距离参观文物或者物体，一般是360°无死角参观，那么作为博物馆展柜设计材料昂么则更多的去考虑照明和玻璃的选择，另外根据物体的大小来确定博物馆展柜设计的柜体的高度和宽度，像兵马俑这么大的庞然大物，灯光方面要求舒适柔和不刺眼，以散光为主，假如是珠宝首饰之类的文物 展品则需要聚光很好的射灯。

博物馆展柜设计的安全部分

博物馆展柜设计要考虑自身的稳定性，由于博物馆的功能主要是提供给人们参观，这就不可避免有调皮的小朋友在里面游玩和推搡，那么博物馆展柜设计方面就要避免头重脚轻，或者过于单薄而容易摔倒损坏，在观众难免有三只手的出现，如果是贵重的文物类展品则要加强防盗，例如红外线报警系统，另外消防方面就不多说了，这个有严格的消防验收指导，按照消防验收标准去做就可以了。

博物馆展柜设计要考虑操作方面，由于做博物馆展柜普遍比较笨重，那么他就要考虑可操作性了，像比较大的靠墙展柜，他们的玻璃柜门都是单独的可以自动推拉并带自锁功能的，如果是体积不大的博物馆展柜，则考虑上面玻璃门开启，下面用夹板柜门开启，跟珠宝展柜的精品柜差不多。

因此展柜厂家在博物馆展柜设计的考虑比较注重在这几个方面。反而弱化了灯光和广告，因为他们不是商业品，不需要每天销售多少东西完成多少业绩来平衡自己的收支。

The functional elements of museum showcase design consider four aspects: exhibition, safety, operation, and protection.

Exhibition is the fundamental part of museum showcase design.

As we all know, the primary purpose of a museum is exhibition. Therefore, when designing museum showcases, it is necessary to consider the unity of individual parts with the overall layout. Different materials and design styles can be adopted for each small theme, but they should not be detached from the overall design. For example, if the museum focuses on displaying the ancient charm of the Jiangnan region, the overall theme should be centered around objects with Jiangnan characteristics. Placing a futuristic showcase featuring a starry sky would be out of place. Similarly, if it is a military museum, camouflage colors are generally the dominant tone, and it would be very inharmonious to incorporate elements of ancient Jiangnan charm.

Most museums allow visitors to view artifacts or objects from a close distance, often providing a 360° unobstructed view. As a result, when designing museum showcases, materials should prioritize considerations for lighting and glass selection. Additionally, the height and width of the showcase should be determined based on the size of the displayed objects. For instance, for large artifacts like terracotta warriors, the lighting should be comfortable, soft, and non-glaring, with a focus on diffused lighting. On the other hand, for delicate artifacts like jewelry, showcases require spotlights with excellent focusing capabilities.

The safety aspect of museum showcase design

The stability of museum showcases must be taken into account during design. Since museums are primarily for public viewing, it is inevitable that there will be mischievous children playing and pushing inside. Therefore, showcase designs should avoid being top-heavy or overly thin, which could lead to falls and damage. Given the potential for theft, enhanced security measures, such as infrared alarm systems, should be implemented for valuable artifacts. Additionally, fire safety measures are strictly regulated and should adhere to relevant fire safety inspection standards.

Museum showcase design should also consider ease of operation. Since museum showcases tend to be bulky, their operability must be taken into account. For example, larger wall-mounted showcases often have individually detachable glass doors with automatic sliding and self-locking functions. For smaller museum showcases, the design may consider top-opening glass doors and bottom-opening doors made of plywood, similar to those found in jewelry display cases.

Therefore, manufacturers of museum showcases tend to prioritize these aspects in their designs, while minimizing the emphasis on lighting and advertising, as museums are not commercial spaces that require daily sales targets to balance their income and expenses.
