Custom Acrylic Displays for Museum Exhibits

Every museum wants to display their artefacts in a unique and attractive way that engages guests. Creating custom displays for your exhibits is the perfect way to achieve the look you want. 

Simple, clear acrylic display compliment the overall exhibit and also an amazing effect with vinyl graphics. For example, the picture above uses a simple clear acrylic "L" shaped stand to display the egg artefacts. It's already quite effective at creating an elegant presentation. However, the extra space on the back is used well by applying vinyl graphics that appear to be suspended in midair. 

With clear acrylic material, it is easy to create pieces that are unique yet go together in a cohesive manner. Using a state-of-the-art acrylic laser cutter, you can accomplish creating complicated, intricate shapes for your display, such as the avian silhouettes to match the vinyl graphic. Using this simple method brings to the exhibit and engages guests visually. 

Acrylic is an incredibly durable material that can withstand an impressive amount of weight and customization. Installing pegs onto the laser cut acrylic silhouettes allows you to make the absolute most of your limited space. For example with this avian exhibit, the egg artefacts are held up by pegs and a small shelf, utilizing the vertical space. It also provides an interesting method of organization that helps your guests process the visual information of the exhibits easier. 

Drill holes can be easily added to any custom acrylic display to add more stability and security. While the specimens are all encased in a thick case, completely inaccessible to unauthorized individuals, gravity will still stir up trouble. To prevent any damage to the specimen and artefacts, you can drill down the display onto the flat surface. This particular exhibit contains various specimen of eggs, which are extremely fragile. The drill holes offer that extra protection to preserve the specimen for years and years.

Displays like these can easily be customized to fit your exact needs. These techniques and styles are excellent for retail displays for products such as cosmetics, cell phones, cameras, perfumes, services, jewelry, and more. They can also be used for art installations in public places for a long lasting application. Simply email us your ideas and we will help you turn them into reality!
