Have you tried, or seen, pictures glazed with anti-reflective glass (eg 
Tru-Vue Museum) or acrylic (eh Optium Museum)? Though the reflections 
are not totally eliminated (it depends a lot on the local illumination) 
they are dramatically reduced such that the glass is practically 
invisble. This is not the same stuff as 'non-glare' glass which does 
not cut down the reflections at all, just diffuses them while degrading 
the image quality.
