About Meyvaert
WE HELP MUSEUMS IN PRESENTING, PRESERVING & PROTECTING THEIR COLLECTION
Meyvaert was established in Belgium (Ghent) in 1826. Starting out as a mirror factory, we have continuously been innovating and expanding our glass solutions portfolio to meet customer needs and expectations.
We have been delivering high-quality museum display solutions since the 1980s. We partner with museum directors, curators, conservation staff, architects, exhibition designers, and building contractors to help enhance visitor experience. Serving our worldwide customers for many decades means that our teams can draw upon a successful combination of technical proficiency, creative flair and awareness to create products where structural quality meets esthetic elegance.
Our strength and success as a company lie in our ability to expertly translate the architect’s esthetic design concepts into technical and functional solutions, whilst making sure that the client’s wishes regarding the presentation, security and conservation of the artifacts are met to the utmost degree.
