Description
In setting up for a show, circa 1950, smilex was hung from the ceilings. The Commercial Museum hall occupied nearly three acres of floor space. The hall consisted of 5 bays, each 60 feet by 400 feet. The 40 foot high ceiling had double skylights running the length of each bay. There were few columns, a boon for designers who could create landscape exhibits with long vistas.
