<p>[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 9546719, member: 56"]What's available in the way of museum grade non-reflective glass is amazing, but I imagine it comes with a matching price. I was at a show recently where, standing very close to the art, I could see the ceiling lights reflected, but from just a couple feet away I couldn't even tell that glass was present. Couldn't even see my own reflection in it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ordinary picture glass is another thing you can get cheap at a thrift. Buying a cheap print framed under glass gives you the glass for a lot less than purchasing a piece retail. Cutting glass is easy... just measure twice to cut once. Some people say older glass is harder to cut, but that hasn't been my experience.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
