to add to the list:

con: it's harder to move cases or heavy carts around on carpeting than it is
on hard surfaces (how often will your core exhibit galleries change?
how much traffic do they get with heavy carts by staff? by caterers?)

con: static electricity from some carpets may annoy visitors getting "shocks"
