How to mount a large canvas mural to a wall that can be removed and remounted in the near future?
My canvas mural is made up of three 7′ X 8′ canvases for a 7′ X 24′ wall. I was going to use wallpaper paste to mount it to the wall, but now the client wants to be able to remove it and move it to another location in the near future! Any ideas?

Look at mounting it on swedish hardboard (will not shrink or warp) and build a frame to hold the panels. You will have to piece the panels as they are 4 feet by 8 feet.
Make a frame out of strapping or 1×3 pine then attach it to the frame and tack it to the wall with nails or screws. Or just staple it to the wall with a staple gun. You can paint the top of the staples to match or disguise. Glue sticks are also temporary.
I would make a sleeve for the top back side, and run a long dowel the with of the canvas. Hook up a long wire at each end, and hang on a drywall hook that goes in the wall.
