By Lela Perkins


Museum cabinets are places within which the contents of such institutions are kept. Their designs vary from place to place. Their structure however is usually determined by their contents. The affordability of the institution in question also goes a long way in influencing the various designs selected.

There are those that are usually made of glass. The glass is to ensure visibility of what is in those places as well as to ensure that the contents of those boxes do not leave at any one time. These ones are the ones which in most cases contain the species which are living. They serve to ensure the species do not leave their confinement. Usually, they are well aerated and provided with the environment that the animals within them require.

These boxes are considered very good. This is because they allow for viewing of the animals with so much security provided. They also offer the necessary clarity for the people having a look at the creatures within them. Besides, they appear very beautiful to the people visiting the place. Some institutions which do not have them suffer from escape of their creatures, but the ones which have them have got their creatures totally safeguarded.

However, some people may not have the skill of making these boxes. As such, these people may not provide for comfort very well. For instance, they may end up totally locking the place, allowing for no air to get in completely. This may suffocate the animals inside, leading to great losses by that particular institution. Sometimes, the people viewing the animals may be children; they may be tempted to break the glass, leading to accidents.

The second category comprise of those boxes that are not in any way sealed. These ones contain open doors that allow for access of what is within by the viewers. The numbers of people adopting this variety are not many. For those who do, these ones are used for keeping the non-living objects for viewing. At times, armless living objects may also be kept there as their confinement.

The cost of running these places is normally very low. This is because the people here do not need expensive material like glass. Besides, they do not suffer misfortunes such as having to replace broken glass. The people visiting also have much more fun. This is because direct interaction with the things within is possible, since they are not confined.

However, some people may be very malicious. In the absence of the attendants of those places, they may steal some of the things which they admire. This may disrupt the running of those institutions a great deal. Some of the animals there harmless as they may be may end up escaping, forcing the attendants to go out in search of others.

Museum cabinets are a feature that is common in these places. What differs is the design and structure of each. This is usually determined by a number of factors that depend on the institution and the nature of their operations.
