I am working for Cardiff University, putting together a palaeontological
exhibition at the National Botanic Garden Wales. I am looking for
second-hand table top display cases; do you know of any Museums in Wales
trying to get rid of any or where I can get reasonably priced display cases
locally?
We are after conservation grade display cases preferably but would consider
standard grade (not ventilated). The location where we are aiming to set up
the exhibition at the National Botanic Garden is fitted with a bench so we
are after table top display cases with see through on all sides, but would
also consider cases with only clear tops. Ideal dimensions would be 1 m x
0.6 m with a display height of ~0.20 m. We need up to 7.
