There are many factors to consider when choosing a pedestal for your sculpture. Our laminate pedestal is a popular option because it comes in many sizes and colors. It can support up to 200lbs of evenly distributed weight. Add an acrylic display cover to protect the sculpture from dust and debris. When displaying a taller sculpture, use a cube pedestal table to keep the viewer's focus at eye level.

Acrylic is superior to glass for museum displays in many ways. It’s lightweight, optically clear, shatterproof, UV-resistant, insulating and cost-effective, among other attributes. Acrylic is also stronger than glass, providing additional protection for museum displays housing prized and priceless collections. You can learn more about the use of high quality acrylic for your museum display stands, cases, boxes, risers and other museum exhibit supplies here.

Acrylic is a highly durable and shatter-resistant material that requires minimal maintenance. Everyday care consists of using a clean, soft cloth to wipe the museum display surface—one that’s dedicated solely to this purpose to avoid scratches. If a little more oomph is needed, chemical- and fragrance-free dish soap and water are preferred. NEVER use a solvent to remove grease, grime, adhesive or sticky substances on the surface.
