Wholesale Prints & Services
for Museums

For a decade now, 1000Museums has been helping museums increase the exposure and availability of their collections by providing archival print products for their gift shops and through print-on-demand sites like 1000Museums.com. Increased exposure means increased revenue, not just from more visitors through the door but also from on-site shop sales and an ongoing royalties from us too.

Founded and run by top art and technology industry veterans and now powered by Art Authority, we work directly with artists and museums to provide the highest quality, most faithful reproductions possible. Our use of the latest print and internet technologies helps us produce that quality product at highly affordable price points, especially for our 1000Museums partners.

Our Process

SCAN

The artwork has been scanned at the highest resolution possible by the museum and the digital file is sent to us for color optimization.

PAPER

We only use the finest paper. It’s 100% acid-free cotton fine art paper.

INK

We only use the highest quality pigmented, non-toxic, environmentally friendly ink with a color permanence rating of at least 200 years. In fact our black and white inks are rated at 400 years.

PRINT

We are an EPSON partner. One of the partners, Mac Holbert, is an EPSON fellow and featured around the world as a master of his craft. Our large format printers are the best made and we are always upgrading and replacing to ensure we get the finest reproductions possible.

FRAME

We use the highest quality wood in our modern shop to create custom frames. We frame your print with precision-cut acid-free mat board, and mount it behind a UV-blocking semi-gloss plexiglass to protect your art from the sun, dust, pollution, heat, and humidity. Then we add finishing touches like wall hanging mount, wall friendly bumpers, and a protective backing.

We work with the most respected museums in the world.

Museum Approved

We work with the most respected museums in the world. They inspect our print masters to ensure those masters match the art that is actually hanging in their museums. Many of them sell our fine art reproductions in their gift shops.
