Oil paintings are costly and often part of a legacy handed over from generation to generation, hence it is essential to hang it in a proper place. If not hanged properly, an oil painting can loose its beauty and get damaged over the course of time. Always hang an oil painting in a room which has a stable room temperature and where direct sunlight does not fall. Don't hang the oil painting in hallways or in busy corridors on walls where frequent family movement takes place. Even a place close to the kitchen, bathroom or anywhere which has the tendency to get damp is also not a good place to hang an oil painting. And for hanging the painting on the wall securely use two strong picture hooks and wire.
