3M makes some great UV filtering film in their "Sun Control" line:

We are looking at retrofitting it to replacement windows in our 108 year old
building.

> A new museum will be opening in my area soon, in a space given to them by
a local mall.  The mall is not enclosed, and so the front window is exposed
to massive amounts of sunlight (direct and indirect).  I have been trying to
track down sources of UV blocking film that can be used for large windows,
but couldn't find any in the usual conservation supply catalogs.  If any of
you have used the film, and would share you purchase source, I will pass the
info along to the new museum.  They would much appreciate your help.
