You can use a museum mount or firmly adhere the artwork it to a backing in any frame, and just remove the glass. The artwork though needs to be well mount, or it may absorb moisture in the air which will cause it to curl and warp.

Likewise, people ask, should prints be framed with glass?

All should be framed behind glass. Only canvas art (paintings or prints) are usually presented without glass. But even those are sealed/varnished, otherwise they would have the same fate as the unprotected art on paper.

Additionally, should picture frames match in a room? While the bottom line is certainly a matter of personal preference, in terms of creating a contemporary and stylish look, the answer is no, the picture frames should not all match. For a great look without too much uniformity, go for frames that are different sizes and styles, but the same color or material.

Also to know is, do giclee prints need glass?

In the case of a giclee on paper, glass should be used, but there is no need to put canvas prints behind glass. UV protective non-glare glass such as Museum Glass is the best option for paper prints.

What can I use instead of glass for a picture frame?
