California Academy of Sciences: Gems & Minerals Case Refresh

The original design for  case F in the Gems and Minerals: Unearthed exhibition at California Academy of Sciences presented a problem: visitors to the museum and guests at special events often used it as a table for beverages, compromising the priceless items inside.

First developing mockups and tests with the CAS registrar, conservator, and preparators, and working in conjunction with the exhibition’s original case fabricator, I then redesigned a case impervious to resting beverages, hors d’oevres, or arms.
