The archtects' idea to let the display cabinets appear to float in mid-air presented a unique structural challenge and was only possible to implement employing extreme metal-working and mounting precision. The interior of the display cabinets are fabricated with tested low emission material. Climate control within the enormous display cabinets are achieved through a sophisticated duct-system with active control mechanisms managed by a central unit located in the basement.
