Museums turn to American Frame, for many good reasons.
“Our Works on Paper department has collaborated with American Frame's museum team many times. The resulting installations, and their service throughout the process, are always excellent."

Why Museums Trust American Frame
Every exhibit matters. Museums rely on fine art framing not only to educate and inspire audiences, but to present works in a way that confers distinction and reflects the rigor of their curatorial practices. Thoughtful presentation helps set apart both the work itself and the institution that stewards it.
From a single artifact to a traveling exhibition, museums need framing that meets exacting standards for accuracy, materials, consistency, and visual integrity. Since 1973, American Frame has partnered with museums of all sizes to deliver reliable, concierge-level service on every order.
