A glass display case or cabinet, especially for displaying art, jewelry, or museum specimens.
From French 'vitrine' (shop window/glass case), from 'vitre' (pane of glass), from Latin 'vitrum' (glass). The frame that makes ordinary objects into treasures by putting glass between you and them.
Just putting glass around something makes it PRECIOUS! A rock in a field is nothing. The same rock in a vitrine is a MUSEUM PIECE! Glass transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary. Framing IS meaning! 🏛️✨
