I had several paintings that were family heirlooms and at least 100 years old cleaned/repaired/restored recently, along with 2 frames of the same era and one new frame added. Museum services did a great job and were wonderful to work with, giving me advice on what to do and choices to make. The price was reasonable and and time frame was met. The quality of the work was excellent and I am proud to display these works of art.

I was very happy with the results of cleaning and restoring my Norfeldt painting. The colors in the art are so vibrant now and the recommendation for the new frame was definitely worth it. We are enjoying the painting in a prominent place in our home.
