More about this product

Designed by the famous Italian architect Renzo Piano, the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures is a real 7-story temple of cinema presenting the diversity and talent of artists collaborating in the creation of films.

Location 6067 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, CA, USA
Type of establishment History Museum
Type Permanent Exhibit
Collection Cinema-related artefacts

Among the firms involved in this large-scale notorious project, Zone Display Cases was commissioned to design, fabricate, and install some 130 custom-made conservation cases to display and protect some of the greatest cinema-related collections.

Challenge

The Encounters Gallery in particular was an ideal opportunity to consolidate Zone Display Cases' mission – to prove that display casework can be both technically efficient and visually unobtrusive, even invisible.

The gallery also prompted an interesting technical challenge: a wall case 56-foot long and 6-foot deep. Their objective was to create the impression of a seamless glass wall, while also creating the necessary supporting structure and integration of sophisticated lighting and other accessories to maximize the impact of the display.

Solution

Through a process of careful material resistance calculations and CAO simulations, they were able to considerably optimize the structure and obtain an interior volume which met and even exceeded expectations.

Also, the preconceived configuration and casework layout created the ideal setting for their frameless showcase, fitted with risers that give the artifacts the appearance of floating within a void.
