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 hired Mead.
Known for his skills, thoughtful professionalism and expediency, Bill Mead
has also worked extensively with Benchmark and several other established
museum services companies on a freelance basis.
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 Hudson
Valley, we are available to work on site whether you are near or far. Please
contact Museum Mounts for a consultation.
