Sorry for the late reply, I’ve been overseas for the past few weeks. There is no such thing as “museum grade acrylic”. We avoid acrylic whenever possible in museum exhibits due to how easily it scratches, how reflective it is, and it is near impossible to protect artifacts from light damage when using it. It is also difficult to clean, which is important when 600,000 kids a year are running through and planting their grubby hands on it.
In my industry there is museum grade acrylic (which is considered top of the line for a number of reasons, again with different treatments and thicknesses), custom framing and display manufacturing for galleries, design firms, art consultants, smaller frame shops with limited capabilities, etc... "Museum Grade" can be considered more of a term if anything as the product itself has different names depending on manufacturer and/or type.
Museum displays are a different animal altogether that have it's own considerations / priorities. I could see some similarities, but still very different in a lot of ways. Sounds like a neat gig though.
