Acrylic is cheaper than museum glass, and lighter (makes a big difference for larger pieces.) You can get UV protection acrylic, which is a bonus. I got some antiglare and I wouldn't recommend it, but it's also an option. For clarity with UV protection, you can't beat museum glass though.

If you're US framedestination is fantastic.

The guy that quoted the Tali frame job for me, also mentioned the weight factor. He advised against using glass because it would simply be too heavy. He said that my wall at home may not hold the piece if it were framed in glass.

Nice The Team giclee by the way. In truth though, I think this is one rare case where the litho trumps the giclee. Just my opinion of course. I just think the foil embellishments and white border put the litho over the top.

This one is incredibly heavy and the hanging hardware is bolted into the wall studs. I would make sure anything over 50lbs be secured the same way, particularly if your home is older (crumbly drywall!)

Probably wasn't the classiest way to post that pic, didn't mean to detract from yours. I'd love to see the large litho in person, these things never look as good in photos. Mine deserves better lighting than I give it, the liquid gloss coat causes horrendous glare. I have at least removed the prints in super cheap frames from the sides
