Abstract
A museum showcase includes a display space and an opening aid unit. The display space is enclosed in a case with an openable door, which is held in the closed position by a magnetic coupling between a first magnetic element on the case and a second magnetic element on the door. The opening aid unit includes a lever and an abutting element. The lever, mounted on the case, is angularly movable about a pivot axis between a first position and a second position and operable from outside the showcase. The contact end of the lever, in the first position of the lever, interferes with the abutting element to impose a displacement of the door from the case and, in the second position of the lever, does not impose any displacement of the door from the case.
