More about this product

After seven years of closure, The Metropolitan Museum of Art's newly redesigned Northern Renaissance Sculpture and Decorative Arts Gallery reopened to the public in October 2023. There, visitors can now experience more than 100 iconic objects from The Met collection, including some exciting recent acquisitions on display for the first time.

Goppion has already worked with The Met on previous occasions, including the renewal of the British Galleries for the Museum’s 150th anniversary. For this project, the Northern Renaissance reinstallation required them to provide exhibit fabrication, 11 airtight, custom conservation-grade showcases, a further 10 showcases with hinged doors, and nine custom-made LED lightbox displays. They also delivered a variety of other exhibition components such as plinths, platforms, glass and acrylic cases, rails, reader rails and AV integrated furniture.

Goppion worked closely with The Met's world-class design team through the design-assist process, providing solutions to complex challenges. A significant challenge was the height of the freestanding showcases, which reached their destination on-gallery thanks to logistical planning, a ramp and a very careful forklift driver!

Among the innovations introduced for this project is an enhanced solution for silica gel system efficiency, which addresses the release of VOCs (volatile organic compounds) by the art itself, ensuring both airtightness and filtration when necessary.

With this reinstallation, the Northern Renaissance gallery’s rich collection of objects and stories offer a fresh, compelling window into the past for a new generation of Met visitors.
