The systems used in many museums to suspend art for display can be divided into several categories based on how they work and what kind of display they are. These display styles include pictured hanging systems, tensioned display systems, signed display systems, banner handoff systems and standoffs or spacers. This hardware can then be further divided into the rail, rod and hooks being used to display the art in question. Suspension systems are extremely easy and straightforward to set up and are essentially just set and forget since once they have been set up, you won't need to go back and play with the system since they generally just work on their own without needing feedback or maintenance at all.

This is especially useful if you want to just throw up some pictures or pieces of art and display them for a long time without needing to tweak or maintain the system to keep it running. As a result, hanging systems are often used across a multitude of corporate offices, museums and homes because the system is very simple and requires limited input to keep it running.

However, which system you're going to want to use can vary as there are several different types of systems available for use as a display tool. While this can vary depending on the circumstances and seller, generally, the more compact a system the less mobile it will be. In other words, if a system can be easily moved around to change its display location, the odds are good that you will have to manually reconfigure it when you reposition the images or hardware.

In conclusion, art suspension systems are very useful for displaying photos or artwork and easy to pull off without risking damage to the building but the more mobile you need the display system to be, the less self-sufficient it will end up being.
