Museum-grade acrylic solutions to protect priceless artefacts

Our team has been trusted by museums and art galleries to protect their artefacts and create engaging displays to enhance their visitors’ experience.

When working with art galleries and museums, we use museum-grade acrylic to fabricate our protective screens, covers and display cases, thus providing optimal clarity for viewing.

We create bespoke protective covers and displays for priceless works of art. Our team can design to your exact specifications. We can create a design brief, or we are able to work from a full CAD file specification provided by our customers.

+ Featured case study

Protecting Banksy

Abplas has been delighted to be called upon several times by Red Eight Gallery to protect Banksy’s ‘Valentine’s Day Mascara’. Initially, we were contacted when this piece appeared on Valentine’s Day 2023 in Margate, highlighting the very serious issue of domestic abuse. We had to provide an immediate solution to make sure Banksy’s art was protected from the elements. We designed and built a bespoke protective cover to do the job.
