The Museum of Art and Archaeology at the University of Missouri-Columbia will reinstall its permanent collection of old master paintings in a "salon-style" arrangement in summer 1995. I would appreciate the comments of anyony who has undertaken such an installation. My questions are of a dual nature. From a conceptual perspective, how were the paintings, especially religious subjects arranged? Were all landscape paintings grouped together or were paintings arranged by size, with larger paintings hung lower than smaller paintings? How were paintings labeled? Were there conflicts with ADA guidelines? On the technical/logistical side, was it helpful to use a scaled model to arrange the paintings before hanging them on the wall? Were paintings hung from top to bottom or from bottom to top? Were lifts or scaffolds necessary; how many people were on the installation team? What kind of fasteners were used, and finally, what labeling devices, such as plexiglass covers, were used? I appreciate responses from anyone who has done such an installation.
