Why need of Mounting & Framing in Museum?
Protection of Artifacts
- Scratch Prevention: Mounting and framing serve as a protective barrier against scratches and abrasions. A well-constructed frame acts as a physical shield, preventing direct contact with external objects that could potentially harm the surface of the artifact.
- Handling Safeguard: Proper framing ensures that artifacts are securely mounted, reducing the risk of accidental handling. This is particularly crucial for delicate items that may be susceptible to damage from human touch.
- Fingerprint Avoidance: The use of framing materials and techniques helps minimize the transfer of oils and contaminants from human fingers, thus preventing the accumulation of fingerprints on the surface of the artifacts.
Preservation
Light Control: Mounting and framing control the exposure of artifacts to light, especially harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. Excessive light exposure can lead to fading and discoloration of pigments or materials, and framing provides a shield against these detrimental effects.
Environmental Control: By creating a controlled environment within the frame, mounting and framing protect artifacts from dust, humidity, and pollutants. This controlled atmosphere helps to mitigate the adverse effects of these environmental factors on the longevity and condition of the artwork.
Display Enhancement
- Aesthetic Presentation: Mounting and framing contribute to the visual appeal of artworks by providing a polished and cohesive presentation. The frame serves as a complementary element, enhancing the overall aesthetic quality of the piece and drawing attention to its unique features.
- Professional Presentation: A well-framed artwork conveys a sense of professionalism, signaling to visitors that the museum values the items in its collection. This contributes to a positive and immersive viewing experience, fostering a deeper appreciation for the artistic and historical significance of the artifacts.
Context and Interpretation
- Educational Elements: Mounting and framing provide a platform for curators to present additional information about the artwork. Labels, captions, or accompanying texts displayed alongside framed pieces offer valuable insights, historical context, and interpretative information, enriching the viewer’s understanding of the artifact.
- Visitor Engagement: Contextual information provided through mounting and framing encourages visitor engagement. It facilitates a more interactive and educational experience, allowing museum-goers to connect with the cultural or historical significance of the displayed items.
Conservation and Longevity
- Risk Mitigation: Proper mounting and framing techniques are integral to the overall conservation strategy. They minimize the risk of physical damage, ensuring that artifacts remain structurally sound and intact over time.
- Handling Minimization: By securely mounting artifacts, the likelihood of handling-related issues, such as tears or creases, is significantly reduced. This contributes to the long-term preservation of the items, allowing them to be enjoyed by future generations.
- Investment in Future Heritage: The commitment to effective mounting and framing is an investment in the cultural heritage of society. It ensures that artworks and artifacts withstand the test of time, preserving the collective history and creativity for the benefit of future generations.
