The Mila-Wall system is great but is pricey.  The good thing about it is
you can purchase modules as you can afford them and they all can be
configured to work in numerous different ways.  Once there is a basic
configuration, changing some of it can be done easily by one person.

Failing that, I've had movable walls built from dimensional lumber and
plywood into tall "boxes" a few inches thick and mounted on casters.
They are easy to move around, patch, paint and reconfigure but hard to
store.  However, they can be camouflaged to act just like a plain
gallery wall--just push them against an existing solid wall, tape and
plaster the joints and treat just like a solid wall until they are
needed again.

Greetings!

We have a new museum in our city museum system that actually has exhibit
space and several different galleries. We need light weight - easy to
store - movable walls that we can use to display exhibits in front of
and on.  We will be changing exhibits quite often in some spaces and I
am alone quite often.  We are looking for something that will suit our
needs, be easy to move, and not be horrendously expensive.  Do you have
suggestions?
