CHINESE
LACQUER

SCREEN

Since the reopening of the Weltmuseum Wien in October 2017, the lacquer
screen, in its own protective showcase, is again presented in the China Hall
on the mezzanine. The freestanding case, constructed of steel with the
imposing dimensions of 4 m (W) × 3.5 m (H) × 1.2 m (D), is equipped with
two large Prosorb drawers to stabilize the environment of the interior and
an additional air diffusion system (without a fan). The glazing is 8 mm,
2-layer laminated glass. The showcase can be opened by two large doors
on the front. The illumination of the object is achieved with LED lights
positioned outside of the case (figs. 93 and 94).
