Exhibition barriers

Te Papa's conservation section is re-evaluating the museum's
exhibition barriers. The project is being put out to local young
designers to create a new barrier design.

The design guidelines are that the barriers must 1) keep collections
safe 2) keep visitors safe 3) be visually unobtrusive 4) are
re-usable.

There does not appear to be very much published on the subject. Does
anybody know of any published material on barriers and barrier
design ?
