Framing a very large Egyptian papyrus in to a 76 x 40" frame (1940 x 1018mm). At that size, I think acrylic would be better than glass due to weight and safety concerns. Will 3mm acrylic be too thin at this size? I can source 4.5mm acrylic but the price difference is enormous - $600 for 3mm conservation control acrylic or $6,000 for 4.5mm museum-grade acylic. Also, I've read that acrylic will expand and contract, will that make it unsuitable for a work this size? Any advice appreciated.
