It is not attached to walls or other surfaces, providing flexibility in positioning within a museum or exhibition space. The free-standing museum display cases typically feature all glass panels for maximum visibility from all angles and protection, controlled lighting, and climate control to preserve the displayed items.

Minimalist Frameless Design

A free-standing museum display case boasts a minimalist, frameless design, ensuring that the focus remains on the showcased artifacts. The absence of a visible framework contributes to a sleek and modern aesthetic.
