This document sets out the display standards for Glasgow Museums.This guide will help exhibition planners provide access to exhibitions in our museums.Glasgow Museums' aim is to improve access to collections by having as many items as possible on display and without physical barriers.We also try out best to protect these objects without limiting access to them.
Object Placement
?Don't place objects in such a way that they could present a danger to visitors.
?All object displays，cased or otherwise，must be viewable by all，including people who are small in figure or in wheelchairs.
Open Display
?All objects on open display must be secure from theft and damage.
?All objects identified for potential open display must be viewed and agreed on an object-to-object basis by the Security Manager of the museum.
| Recommendations |
Distance |
| Recommended distance to place objects out of "casual arm's 700 mm length"（taken from the edge of the object to the edge of any proposed form of barrier） |
700 mm |
*In some cases，600 mm may be acceptable，provided the plinth height is above 350 mm.
Cased Objects
?All cased displays should fall within the general optimum（最優(yōu)的）viewing band of 750-2000 mm.Ensure everything is visually accessible from a wheelchair.
?Position small objects or those with fine detail in the front part of a case，with larger items behind.
?Position small items or those with fine detail no higher than 1015 mm from floor level.Objects placed above this height are only seen from below by people in wheelchairs or people who are small in figure.
