"Alsdorf and Modern Galleries"
Designers, architects and the curators have been able
to "reimagine" the Art Institute's entire collection.
The new Alsdorf Galleries, designed by the Renzo Piano
Building Workshop, have created a bridge between the East
Asian Art to Western Civilizations' Art to the Modern Wing.
And Proto Productions has brought their concept to reality.
Never before have they been able to showcase their 270,000
objects from all their collections concurrently. Proto
Productions fabricated over two hundred custom display
cases, vitrines, platforms, podiums, dividers, and wall
shelves for the Galleries. We were in close co-ordination
with their curators, conservators, and designers to maintain
compliance with all conservation guidelines, including
relative humidity, color schemes, and security. Many conservation
cases were also provided with silica gel (desiccant) chambers.
Cases were sealed to maintain relative humidity and prevention
of dust and other pollutants.
