Christian, Roll it! Gaylord or a similar company carries giant archival tubes -- they must be at least 8" long. Of course you'll still need the scads of archival tissue, and you may need to figure out a way to suspend the rolled object -- stick a dowel rod through the tube, mount brackets on a wall, perhaps. I would also have someone make a muslin cover for it, once rolled (I hate rewrapping in the tissue, at least on the outside -- it always tears for me).
