Enhancing the effect of museum exhibitions: the application of low-reflective glass display cabinets in the protection of cultural relics

With the progress of society and people's awareness of cultural heritage protection, museums play an increasingly important role in displaying cultural relics. To improve the exhibition effect and protect cultural relics, many museums have started to adopt low-reflection glass display cabinets. This paper will discuss the advantages and applications of low-reflective glass display cabinets in protecting cultural relics and enhancing the exhibition effect.

I. Advantages of low-reflection glass display cabinets

Reduce light reflection, improve viewing experience

The biggest feature of low-reflection glass is the low-reflection effect on its surface. When the light irradiation to the low reflection glass surface, the reflection of light is less, and will not produce an obvious mirror effect, thus reducing the light reflection on the viewer's visual interference. Viewers can focus more on the details and connotations of the artefacts when viewing them, improving the viewing experience.

Reduce ultraviolet rays, protect cultural relics

Low-reflective glass has good UV-blocking properties. Cultural relics in the long-term exhibition process, will be exposed to ultraviolet radiation and erosion, resulting in fading, deterioration and even damage. The use of low-reflective glass display cabinets can effectively reduce exposure to ultraviolet rays, protect cultural relics from ultraviolet damage and extend the preservation life of cultural relics.

Increase the contrast of cultural relics and highlight the characteristics of cultural relics

Low-reflective glass display cabinets have good light transmittance and can increase the contrast of cultural relics. In the exhibition, the audience can see the details and characteristics of cultural relics more clearly, improving the knowledge and understanding of cultural relics.

Second, the application of low-reflective glass display cabinets in museum exhibitions

Display of precious cultural relics

For precious cultural relics, such as paintings, ceramics, etc., the use of low-reflection glass display cabinets can better protect the heritage, while increasing the clarity of viewing. The audience can view the details and characteristics of the artefacts more closely, and improve the knowledge and understanding of the artefacts.

Interactive display

Low-reflective glass display cabinets are also widely used in interactive displays in some museums. Through the use of low-reflective glass, the audience can see the content of the display more clearly, and at the same time reduce the visual interference of light reflection. In addition, low-reflective glass display cabinets can also increase the interactivity between the audience and the displayed artefacts, such as the use of touch screens and other equipment for operation, to improve the audience's participation and sense of experience.

Temporary Exhibition

Temporary exhibition is an important part of museum display. To make the temporary exhibition achieve better results, the use of low-reflective glass display cabinets is a good choice. Low-reflective glass can increase the ornamental and protective properties of cultural relics, and at the same time reduce the visual interference of light reflection. In the temporary exhibition, the audience can see the details and characteristics of the cultural relics more clearly and improve the viewing experience.

III. CONCLUSION

Low-reflection glass display cabinets have significant advantages in protecting cultural relics and enhancing the exhibition effect. By reducing light reflection, increasing the contrast of cultural relics and UV-blocking performance and other characteristics, low-reflective glass display cabinets can not only improve the viewing experience of the audience but also effectively protect the cultural relics from the damage of ultraviolet rays. In museum exhibitions, low-reflective glass display cabinets are widely used in the display of precious relics, interactive displays and temporary exhibitions. To better play the role of low-reflective glass display cabinets, museums need to choose the right brand and model and pay attention to daily maintenance and care. At the same time, museums should strengthen the publicity and education of the audience and raise public awareness of heritage protection. Through these measures, we can better protect cultural relics and pass on historical and cultural heritage.
