Abstract
A museum showcase includes a base, with a laterally accessible technical compartment and an upper platform, and an exhibition space above the platform, delimited by vertically extended glass walls. The glass walls include at least one multi-layered special glass wall, formed of an inner glass pane and an outer glass pane. The inner glass pane extends downwards to cover the base and includes an opening at the technical compartment. The outer glass pane extends downwards only to a height such that the opening in the inner glass pane remains free. The special glass wall includes an openable door shaped and sized to form an extension of the outer glass pane downwards to cover the base. In this way, the opening of the technical compartment is accessible by opening the door, without having to open access to the exhibition space. The inner glass pane ensures that the exhibition space remains closed.
