What is Salon Style Art Hanging?

Salon Style Art Hanging began in France in 1670.  The style came about as a way for students to show their work to the public in a limited space.  In simplest terms, there was more art available than display space.  This gave way to the concept of hanging multiple pieces of art of different styles by different artist in a more uncontrolled way.   This style continues today and is used in Museums and Galleries worldwide.  It allows for a less formal and eclectic way to look at display art and art available for purchase.
