Cultural Facilities
Keep all exhibits beautifully displayed and safely stored.
Leave your art gallery and museum equipment needs to ITOKI.
The exhibition and storage spaces of cultural facilities, such as art galleries and museums, require advanced technology not only to showcase exhibits beautifully but also to display them safely.
ITOKI utilizes its many years of know-how and well-thought-out products and services to propose the construction of facilities that are a cut above the rest.
Supporting the facility environments of art galleries and museums
to preserve exhibits and collections for the future.
Art galleries and museums display valuable cultural assets and artworks in a beautiful, accessible, and safe manner, while carefully preserving and managing collections that will outlast human lifetimes. In order to fulfill this role, it is essential to create an appropriate environment for both the exhibition space and the storage space.
To maximize the appeal of exhibits and preserve them to the future, ITOKI offers total support for facility environments, from display cases to storage space equipment, with high functionality, design, and unparalleled flexibility.
Three key features of ITOKI's support

During our long years of support, we have continuously refined our technology and design capabilities while incorporating the latest trends. Our proven track record and accumulated know-how are ITOKI's strengths.
Proposals tailored to your needs
Exhibits and collections vary widely depending on the art gallery or museum. That’s why ITOKI will propose solutions that showcase any exhibit in its natural state while ensuring proper management, tailored to meet customer satisfaction.

Display cases that combine functionality and design
Because we often handle valuable cultural assets, it is essential to have an environment where staff can work safely and confidently. At the same time, compromising on design is not an option. The main feature of ITOKI's display cases is that they combine meticulously calculated functionality with design that beautifully presents the exhibition space and exhibits.
Our sophisticated, superior design has been highly praised by customers who had previously considered purchasing products from overseas.
Products that shape each space
: Exhibition
We propose exhibition space products that allow cultural assets and artworks to be displayed and preserved in the most optimal environment, in line with the characteristics of the assets and artworks, the concept of the facility, and the viewpoints of visitors.
Display Case
ITOKI's display cases are characterized by their design that makes both the space and the exhibits look beautiful and they also incorporate the "four elements" required for the best displays.
OperationMaintenance and Management
We offer a wide variety of options for shapes, door mechanisms, and lighting maintenance. You can choose the size and shape that make loading and unloading exhibits easier and safer. We ensure safety and comfort for tasks that require delicate handling.
StageLighting and Glass
Inside the display cases, uniform illuminance distribution is required. We have a wide variety of LED lighting that can realize the optimal lighting design for the exhibits and special exhibitions, including lighting fixtures, angles, and placement. We also pay particular attention to the glass, creating a beautiful display without compromising the appeal of the exhibits.
StorageAirtightness Performance
To ensure stable temperature control inside the display cases, we use the "tracer gas method" based on JIS A1406 to evaluate the airtightness of the cases. Even if a sudden change in humidity occurs outside the cases, it does not affect the inside of the cases, providing excellent airtightness.
SafetyEarthquake Measures
To prevent exhibits from toppling or being damaged during an earthquake, ITOKI has adopted the concept of "seismic isolation," which absorbs earthquake tremors. The seismic isolation base, which separates the floor from the display case, significantly reduces the impact on exhibits.
If you have any specific requests regarding the cultural assets you wish to display or the type of display case you are looking for, please feel free to contact us. We will propose a display case that brings your vision to life.
For more detailed product information, please refer to our digital catalog. You can also find details on display case dimensions, specifications, variations in shape, door mechanisms, lighting maintenance, lighting effects, airtightness, and seismic isolation performance.
Exhibition Panel
Movable exhibition panels allow for free layout, making them ideal for special exhibitions that require constant changes.
- Lightweight and durable rails
- Cross rails to make it easier for moving walls to change direction
These rails enable smooth movement and flexible layouts that can be adapted to the exhibition content and plans."
: Collection
To protect the valuable collections, we offer a variety of storage space facilities that take into consideration maintenance, disaster prevention, and crime prevention.
In storage spaces intended for the preservation and management of cultural properties, it is essential to realize a preservation environment that is not affected by changes in temperature and humidity, and to deal with VOC gases (harmful deterioration factors) such as alkaline components and organic acids that are generated from building materials, adhesives, etc. ITOKI provides storage space equipment that thoroughly protects cultural properties from various deterioration factors as well as natural and man-made disasters, while also supporting the realization of ideal preservation and effective management.
Storage Door
These fire doors protect the stored items from fire and prevent heat and moisture from entering the storage facility. We offer a variety of fireproof doors to suit your needs, with fire resistance ranging from 30 minutes to 2 hours.
Itoki's know-how accumulated through its safe doors and nuclear power shielding doors has been brought together to create a product design that provides excellent anti-theft, fire resistance, and airtightness for safe use.
Storage facility: Humidity-regulating and gas-absorbing interior panels
In order to preserve the collections for a long time in perfect condition, it is necessary to use materials with excellent moisture absorption and release properties for the interior, and also to have the effect of absorbing VOC gases (harmful deterioration factors) emitted from building materials and adhesives. By using a construction method that combines highly moisture-regulating panels with moisture-impermeable base panels, we create the optimal environment for preserving cultural assets.
Storage Shelves and Stacking Equipment
We offer a variety of shelves designed for efficient storage, with careful consideration for the safety and durability of your collection items.
Choose from a variety of types to suit the size and shape of your collection.
