Appendix 2: Hanging the exhibition
About 19 meters of wall length will be needed in minimum to hang all the objects in the exhibition. The
pictures do not have to hang on the same all but they must be shown in the same room and in the right order.
The pictures and captions must always be hung in numerical order. This is important so that the context and
story of the pictures will be clear. Numbers are found in the document Appendix 3: ‘Hanging instruction” in
the toolkit.
The pictures and text signs must be illuminated from above. It is important that the lights do not give off a
glare on the objects. Fix the text-panel in the frame (in the groove provided for fixing of the images/textpanels), as indicated in the mounting illustration. If needed, fix the panels to the frame with transparent tape
for extra security.
The pictures and texts should be presented on wooden frames with grooves for placing the images, as
indicated on the attached illustration.
Each frame consists of two wooden studs mounted on three aluminum rails. The frames should be mounted
at a height of 1100 mm above the floor. The frames are mounted by screws, directly to the wall. You will
need a drill and a screw-driver for this.
Alternatively the frames can be hanged from the ceiling using wire. See illustration, Appendix 3.
Captions
Captions should be placed to the left of the photo frames, see illustration. Use the same wooden frames as for
the printed photos. Fix the text-panel in the frame (in the groove provided for fixing of the images/textpanels), as indicated in the mounting illustration. If needed, fix the panels to the frame with transparent tape
for extra security.
Be careful when removing the images and panels from the “frames”.
