Consequently, all textiles were replaced in the display cases. This situation called for products that where pollutant free and aesthetically complimenting the theme of the exhibit.

Solution
Thanks to compliance in test results for «Oddy Test» for conservation use and in addition the resemblance of look and feel to raw silk this textile was selected for the glass case lining.
