<p>[QUOTE="Debora, post: 3734234, member: 1476"]Any nearby town with a museum is likely to have a good frame shop. And they will be knowledgable and can advise about the best materials. Lots of information available with internet search about archival framing to get you up to speed before you approach them. If your mother saved the old frames (and, more importantly, some of them are original to the works,) you'll want to consider reusing those. And, of course, you can always donate what you don't wish to keep. There may be a tax deduction you can take when doing so but do keep in mind that some museums and other organizations, accept works and then deaccession them. So you'd want to do some research if you wish a work to become a permanent part of a museum's collection. </p><p><br /></p><p>Debora[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
