Rebecca,
I use 24pt font for larger exhibit labels, you shouldn't need to go any
larger than 36pt font for labels.
As for the Gator Board foam tape might do the trick.  It can hold up a
good amount of weight and since the photos are reprints you don't have
to use archival standards.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Standard Font Size and Mounting Gator Board

Hi All!

We are preparing an exhibit on a local photographer's work. 

Two questions:

1. Is there a standard font size to use for text panels? We would like
to put 
the text right on the wall,not necessarily using a panel per se. 

2. Does anyone have any recommendations for mounting Gator Board? It is
a 
thick form core we will have the photos reprinted on in 24x38. 

Thanks!
