Built like a cage or an aquarium except one assigns objects to it, Masterwork crafts, weapons and armor, artifacts from fallen dwarves, particularly nice large gems. Just another way to spruce up a room so it isn't statues everywhere

[Karzack]

This would be interesting, I have wanted to make museums to showcase all of my artifacts, special items, etc.  These could be made out of glass and made into rooms like a cage-zoo relationship.  Instead it would be a museum.  Or, they could be added just for room value.  Like you mentioned using them instead of statues.

Aren't you just talking about Cabinets, which already are in the game? I would like to see dwarves actually USE the furniture they demand, such as putting nice possessions into cabinets or shelves, instead of throwing them all over the room.

[BurnedToast]

cabinets are basically just storage. A display case would be a way to show the item off (and maybe add it's value to the room).

I like the idea. It should use either 1 wood, 1 stone, or 1 metal bar plus 1 clear (or crystal) glass.

Masterpiece and decorated pieces should give huge boosts to dwarven happiness.  I have some lovely steel masterpiece armor pieces that are encrusted and studded that I'd just love to put on display.

If you want to give your champion new, masterwork armor, you should be able to have it placed in the display case in his bedroom and then he'll check that first when you tell him to get new armor. Maybe armor stands would work, too.

It could open up trap possibilitys, a theif smashes open the display case only to be torn apart by dogs, dropped into a pit of spikes or drowned.

I was just thinking the same thing today.

I've got countless masterwork trade items and such just sitting uselessly packed away in boxes in my huge goods warehouse.  I don't even need to trade, but with so many legendary X's it's hard not to just mass produce the stuff.

I'd love the ability to make a display case.  Would have a base value of what ever it's made out of, plus the item you put inside it.  Dwarves could get happy thoughts from seeing it and you could make a room off of them that could function as a sort of museum or something.

[Ookpik]

Yeah!  I have a dragon skull totem that I want to make into a centrepiece.  I'd even build a room around it.  I don't want to trade it away, but right now it's just sitting in a stockpile.
