i worked in a museum of art for about 4 years in college. probably the easiest way i have found to hang multiple works (if they are all the same size) it to take some butcher paper or newsprint (anything that will tear easily). take your T-square, tape measure, or anything that will give you consistent and straight marks.
you can measure out 2 centerpoints on that paper and just tick off where they should all go.
hell, you can even set the frame down and draw it out, then find where you want it to hang. and put a dot.
it's really quite easy.
anyway, once youve got all your marks, you can level the paper on the wall, tack it up and drive your hanging nails in everywhere you have a dot. then just tear the paper away.
anyway, that is how i used to do it when we had a new show come in. =)
