All rooms have 1 foot ceilings with picture molding about a foot down from the ceiling. We're searching now for antique hooks to fit over the molding and will use thin wires to suspend the frames. Plaster walls don't really do well with conventional picture hooks!

I want rotate images for variety at least. The museum answer is often to suspend the framed images from long, thin wires suspended from the wall near the ceiling which makes fewer holes in the wall and the paint and certainly puts those holes where they won't be easily seen. It does expose wires, however. The other way, obviously, is to use hangers behind each image but that means that a new framed print will almost certainly require new holes unless the print is the same size. >> >> I'm looking for thoughts about how to do this.
