With many our our renovations complete, I've started an interest in collecting and framing art. My first big projects will be original movie poster art.

After some reading, I concluded it 's would be a waste to simply damaging to my authentic movie posters to frame up using traditional backing methods. HereLet's are my notes resulting instart with the results,

Front

• Pick high-grade plexiglass with UV protection, 1/8" thick, crystal clear, non-glare,
  
  • Lighter
  • Glass has issues (moisture entrapment, likely no UV protection, poster can stick despite spacers or mat)
  • Conservation Glass is better, but can break and expensive
  • Do not use ammonia based cleaner
  • Use especially for bigger posters as it is lighter than glass
• Use a mat to ensure the glass if lifted off the surface (only possible for smaller than 40"  x 60" posters)
