One of a kind, the exhibition Haute Couture. Paris, London, 1947-1957. The Golden Age was a tribute to the creators of this era, marked by the return of splendor and glamour after World War II.
It consisted mainly of pieces from the collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum in London.

Challenge
The collection was to be presented at the MNBAQ during a brief period of two months, as part of a travelling exhibition to travel through a multitude of destinations. The museum needed high quality, collapsible and movable cases.
Our display cases meet the highest conservation standards from the V&A.
Our Solutions
To this end, assemblies of modular display cases have been custom designed to enhance this elegant collection.
These climate-controlled cases could be assembled in various configurations to accommodate a variety of objects and floorplans.
They could also be dismantled and stored by the museum staff to save on cost.
