Historical displays are a key part of the Maritime Museum, which presents visitors with the evolution of Dutch maritime history through the display of artifacts and exhibits. This includes centuries of maritime adventure, trade, seamanship and the glorious history of the Dutch navy. Showcases play multiple roles in historical display:
Protection of cultural relics: First of all, the role of display shoowcases is to ensure the integrity and safety of cultural relics. They provide a controlled environment that protects artifacts from damage by environmental factors such as humidity, temperature, and light. This contributes to the long-term preservation of artifacts so that they can continue to be appreciated by future generations.
Display effect: The design and layout of the showcase is crucial to the display effect of cultural relics. Through transparent showcases, visitors can view cultural relics up close, while the lighting and layout of the showcases also help highlight the aesthetic value of the cultural relics. This helps provide an engaging viewing experience and makes historical stories more engaging.
Education and Interpretation: Display showcases often include artifact labels, explanatory text, and multimedia elements to provide information about the artifact’s history, culture, and significance. These interpretive elements help visitors gain a deeper understanding of the artefact's history and themes related to Dutch maritime. The showcase acts as an educational tool, helping to convey knowledge.
Evolution over the Era: By displaying artifacts from different eras, showcases help demonstrate the evolution of maritime technology and culture. Visitors can learn about the development of navigation technology, trade and navigation activities by comparing cultural relics from different periods.
Highlighting important events: Museums may have the opportunity to display artifacts related to important events in Dutch maritime history, such as the Age of Discovery, the activities of the Dutch East and West India Companies, and the Dutch Golden Age. Display showcases can highlight these events and give visitors a deeper understanding of their significance.
Taken together, showcases play multiple key roles in historical display, from the protection of cultural relics to the improvement of display effects, to the transmission of education and interpretation. Together, these characters create a rich historical experience that provides visitors to the Maritime Museum with deep historical insights and cultural awareness. The design and management of showcases need to balance these aspects to ensure that historical displays convey the story of maritime history vividly and interestingly.
