Conservation and Museum grades are what institutions use — Walters Art Museum, Durham University, Topkapi Palace.
Museum Acrylic — why we recommend it for shipping
- 99% UV (300–380nm), anti-reflective on both sides, >98% light transmission
- Anti-static + abrasion-resistant hard coat — repels dust, survives transit
- Shatter-resistant — the safest choice for a framed piece that travels
- Photo-safe: passes PAT ISO 18916 and the Oddy museum test
The procedure
- Conservation first — creased vintage posters are flattened and stabilized
- Mat window and moulding cut to the exact size; artwork hinged to acid-free backing, never glued
- Assembled with the glazing's UV side facing the artwork, then sealed with hanging hardware
- Shipped with protective corner guards — museum acrylic recommended for longer journeys
