Mountmaking is the process of designing, fabricating and installing supports – called “mounts”, “brackets” or “armatures” – for safe display or storage of artworks, artifacts, or natural history specimens. A well-made mount should help protect the object from external hazards or inherent structural weaknesses while enhancing the viewer’s experience.

The International Mountmakers Forum is an organization that exists to support the work of the mountmaking community. It is committed to fostering communication, promoting best practices, and disseminating current information regarding materials, tools, techniques and solutions for object storage
