How many people does it take to put up a tapestry?

How do we hang these large, heavy textiles?
Tapestry

All of our large-scale textiles are hung with Velcro™ because it distributes the weight evenly while allowing for adjustment to be made.  It also makes it much easier to remove them in an emergency.

And, we build our own scaffold!

In case you lost count, it takes 14 conservators!
