All interiors are built by the museum with Glasbau Hahn fixtures. That way, the museum can exchange the interiors based on their requirements for changing exhibitions.

All cases are carried out with non reflective glass and metal frames, powder coated in a color matching the retrofitted bronzed window frames within the galleries. Hinged doors of appropriate size on one, or where required on two sides of the display case, are ensuring easy access even with big interior panels and large objects.

16 HAHN custom built wall and freestanding display cases for the presentation of European silver and porcelain decorative arts are situated in 2 galleries.
