Welcome to Exhibition Cabinets America

Great exhibitions don’t happen by accident. They are the result of careful curatorial choices, precise lighting, rigorous conservation practice, and cabinetry that does its job so well it almost disappears. At ExhibitionCabinets.com, we design and manufacture museum-grade glass cabinets that protect, preserve, and present objects with the reverence they deserve — from a single manuscript that changed a nation to a gallery of artifacts that defines a community’s identity.

Where some cases are just furniture, our cabinets are conservation tools: quiet, stable environments that control light, air, and access while offering audiences a clear, honest view. Every line, seal, hinge, and fastener is chosen for long-term reliability and serviceability. Every surface inside a case is archival and inert, chosen to minimize off-gassing and reactivity. And every glazing option is specified for clarity first — because storytelling happens at the glass.

Institutions partner with us for two reasons. First, performance: our cabinets are engineered to withstand years of public use while maintaining environmental stability, optical clarity, and mechanical precision. Second, partnership: we collaborate with curators, registrars, exhibit designers, architects, and facilities teams from schematic design to final aim, speaking the languages of both conservation and construction. We understand lender requirements, mount strategies, ADA sightlines, and the realities of installing under compressed timelines in union houses.

Whether you are building a permanent gallery, refreshing a traveling exhibition, or creating a temporary rotation with delicate objects, we offer a complete suite of vitrines and cabinets — freestanding, wall-mounted, table and plinth vitrines, long horizontals for manuscripts and textiles, tall towers for sculpture, and microclimate solutions for organic materials. With white-glove installation across the USA and Canada, and a 2-year (24-month) manufacturer’s warranty, you can plan with confidence and open on time.

Materials & Engineering (Conservation-First)

• Low-Iron Tempered or Laminated Glass
  Edge-polished, museum-clear; optional anti-reflective coatings to reduce glare and increase legibility of fine detail.
• Reinforced Aluminum & Steel Frameworks
  Rigid, torsion-resistant structures with concealed fasteners and museum-quiet hinges; powder-coated or anodized finishes.
• Archival Interiors
  Inert substrates and deck materials; pH-neutral liners; sealed cavities for silica gel or molecular sieve; low-VOC adhesives and gasketing.
• Lighting Systems
  Fiber-optic or high-CRI LED with UV suppression and controllable output; concealed channels for clean sightlines; serviceable drivers.
• Environmental Options
  Microclimate cases with RH buffering, ports for data loggers, and optional active humidity control; magnetic door seals and controlled ventilation strategies.
• Security & Access
  Discreet high-security locks, keyed-alike where requested; tamper-resistant hardware; service access panels for maintenance without disturbing mounts.
• Serviceability
  Field-replaceable components, standardized seals, and detailed O&M documentation for long-term stewardship.

Cabinet Types We Build

• Freestanding Exhibition Cabinets – mid to large format, single- or multi-bay with removable decks and integrated mounts.
• Tall Tower Vitrines – 360° viewing for sculpture, fashion, design, or ethnographic works.
• Horizontal Manuscript & Textile Cases – long spans with glare control and even light distribution.
• Table & Plinth Vitrines – elegant pedestal solutions for focal objects and study displays.
• Wall Cabinets & Shadowboxes – shallow profiles with secure lift or swing access, perfect for works on paper.
• Microclimate Cases – sealed systems with RH buffering and monitoring for sensitive organics, metals, and mixed-media works.
• Modular Systems for Rotations – demountable components built to withstand frequent change-outs.
