Museum Glass DiagramMuseum Glass® is the best glazing option for all framed works of art.  Museum Glass is the highest quality anti-reflective picture framing glass available in the industry.  Tru Vue® has a proprietary manufacturing process, called Magnetron Sputtering, which produces an ultra protective, nearly invisible finish.  It protects against 99% of harmful indoor and outdoor UV light rays and has the highest light transmission along with the lowest reflection rating of any other glass product.  The result is consistent, durable quality and the most attractive display for artwork.

Accept only genuine Tru-Vue Museum Glass. Products by other names are inferior grades of the real thing.

Our special runs through June 15: 15% off all Museum Glass! Mention this blog post!
