Bill Mead began his work in museums more than twenty years ago at the Walters Art Museum in

Baltimore where he would become the staff mount maker.  Since then, he has forged a

successful career as a freelance mount maker, helping museums and private collectors around

the country present their art works with the care and professionalism they deserve. The

National Gallery of Art, the Museum of the American Indian and the American Museum of Natural

History are among the many museums that have retained Mead  for his skills, thoughtful

professionalism and expediency.

Bill Mead lives with his family in New York's Catskill Mountains. He paints when he's not making

mounts and occasionally moonlights as web designer.

Museum Mounts creates object mounts that are both safe for the art object and unobtrusive for

the viewer.  Our mounts are most often made from soldered brass padded and painted to match

the object.  Archival materials such as ethafoam and acrylic sheeting may also be used.  Prices

are reasonable and all mounts are guaranteed.  Based in New York's HudsonValley, we are

available to work on site whether you are near or far. 

 

Providing quality mount making and installation services for museums and private collectors worldwide.
