Dear collective wisdom,

I am looking for experienced museum carpenters to construct a set of 6 traveling exhibition cases for our Brooklyn museum. The cases need to be light, durable, have a locking feature, and a plexi-glass vitrine. I am having trouble finding vendors. I would like to know if you have any recommendations for vendors in the NY, NJ, PA areas?   I appreciate your help, Megan

Hi Megan,

Are you looking for road cases that object display cases and vitrines will pack into for shipping or the actual object display cases? Let me know which you are looking for and I can direct you to companies that have made each for our museum.

Good afternoon,

I would say that we're ideally looking for both--the actual cases as well as crates or something that they can travel in. Any recommendations you have are welcome!

All the best,

Megan

Megan,

Calzone/Anvil Cases make some nice road cases, they have made some for our traveling exhibit as well as for some other traveling exhibits out there. They are located in Bridgeport, CT  , Calzone Case Company | Custom Calzone Flight, ATA, Road, Rackmount Cases and more. You can contact Don Sessions ,203-352-6904. For display cases we have used Art Guild Inc. , Trade Shows, Events, Museum Exhibits, Retail Displays by Art Guild , and Maltbie, Maltbie - A Kubik Company, both make nice products.

Hadley Exhibits in Buffalo makes nice cases.  Great Lakes is north of the border in Ontario, but they also do nice work, and are very easy to work with.
