Most textiles and many other three-dimensional objects made from organic materials require support for safe storage and display, both to slow down the damage gravity exacts and to allow for optimal viewing of the object. Mounts and supports are an important part of the object’s preservation; if well-designed, they can serve for both storage and display, thereby reducing unnecessary handling of an object and the associated risks. Display supports also aid in the viewer’s interpretation of the object, preserving the intended form or shape in as inconspicuous a manner as possible. As part of an exhibition, the manner of display can complement the interpretation of the object. A good mount design provides the necessary support while presenting the object to its full advantage, and allows for a safe, minimally invasive, and retreatable method of attachment.
