Abstract: Abstract If you are a museum curator and your job is to make sure that King Tut’s mummy lasts several more millennia, you probably do not cut corners on his final resting place. You buy the best, which in the opinion of quite a few museums comes from a company located across from a Fiat dealership in a cluttered commercial neighborhood of Frankfurt. Deep in his tomb in Luxor, Egypt, the Boy King rests in a vitrine made by Glasbau Hahn, founded in 1836 and still run by the same family. Cases made by Glasbau Hahn also hold copies of the Declaration of Independence at the New York Public Library or Etruscan artifacts at the British Museum, to name just a few examples.
