The Steinhardt Museum of Natural History in Tel Aviv, Israel, houses the natural history collection of Tel Aviv University and serves as a research centre for staff. It also connects the university’s academic buildings with the botanical and zoological gardens.

The museum is defined by an eye-catching wooden shell that covers the outside of the building. The NATURCLAD-W panels that adorn this ‘treasure box’ insulate the museum’s exhibition spaces and give the structure a unique visual aesthetic.

A highly resistant PVDF outer film protects these panels from external conditions, eliminating the need for maintenance and providing climate control for the building’s interior. In turn, the panels help to preserve the valuable exhibits found within the museum’s treasure box.

位于以色列特拉维夫的施泰因哈特自然历史博物馆(Steinhardt Museum of Natural History)收藏着特拉维夫大学的自然史标本,也是教职人员的研究中心,同时连接着大学的各学术楼与植物园、动物园。

博物馆的标志是覆盖建筑外部的醒目木质外壳。装点这只「宝盒」的 NATURCLAD-W 面板为展览空间提供隔热,并赋予建筑独一无二的视觉美感。

高耐抗的 PVDF 外层薄膜保护面板抵御外部环境,免去后期维护,并为室内提供气候调节。反过来,这些面板也帮助守护博物馆宝盒中的珍贵馆藏。
