I can't remember seeing an actual gallery show that wasn't behind some sort of plexiglass. I have heard it is used because it is not subject to shattering into a billion pieces if dropped. The print is protected from being ruined that way. I guess the glass people have really expensive glass to sell you, but museums I have seen are far more concerned about not slicing the piece to ribbons if it falls. The plastics are also not as shiney as glass, and way lighter, the reason I like them.
