does anyone know how they apply the type to museum walls beside the pieces? It looks screen printed to me.

They're usually razor-cut vinyl.

what jackryan said.
any local fast sign type place should have a vinyl cutter. it's easy to apply yourself.

Sometimes you need stuff smaller than you can get in vinyl, like for id's of individual paintings or whaterver.
Layout the stuff and take it to a place that makes dry transfers.
Then rub those babboy custom ltraset looking babies onto the wall.
You get one chance.

Groog is right, they usually burnish them on the wall from tranfser sheets.

(Nov 30 05, 12:04)i had to rub the type down for an entire pottery exhibit years ago. man that was a long couple of days.

set some dupes, yeah.
you can print paper labels too, for temp shows. buncha color tests from the printer, drymount to card stock, trim, and stick em up with ATG tape gun.
not as clean, but cheap and most people don't notice

here's another: use your handy opaque projector from DickBlick, lay out the type, project em onto the wall, and draw it on
