[QUOTE="mirana, post: 9546727, member: 79705"]I love LOVE museum glass. I put it on every piece I own. But yes, often it's the most expensive part of my heavily discounted frame job. It will reflect light at some angles, but it looks purple and is very muted. Funny story: My husband works with curators almost exclusively. They are forever dismissing him when he says museum glass should go on piece, especially dark black pieces in a bright gallery. Of course then glare is terrible and you can't see the art. Cost is not an issue with these curators either, they just don't know the difference. He had a pastel piece in a show and put the museum glass on. He was standing in front of the piece talking to a curator and the man commented "I can't believe you didn't put glass on this, but it's great because we can see it so well without any glare!" My husband dead stared him and said, "There's absolutely glass on it. It's the museum glass I'm always recommending to you." Curator was completely floored. Got right up on it trying to see it thinking he was being pranked. It really is Dark Magic and you should put it on your favorite pieces if you can.[/QUOTE]
