What is display case

A display case (also called showcase, display cabinet, or vitrine) is a cabinet with one or often more transparent tempered glass surfaces used to display objects for viewing.

A display case may appear in a retail store, exhibition, museum, restaurant, or house. Often, labels are included with the displayed objects, providing information such as descriptions or prices.

In a museum, the displayed cultural artifacts are normally part of the museum’s collection or are part of a temporary exhibition. In retail or a restaurant, the items are normally being offered for sale. A trophy case is used to display sports trophies or other awards.
