building a frame is what I recommended earlier and for a big reason:
hanging six-sheets with grommets for any long period of time will
lead to warping of the linen. Linen is a breathing fabric and changes
density at higher/lower temps and is highly susceptible to varying
air moisture, so it is best for linen to be stretched to prevent a
constant resizing that leads to the warping

Yes Doug...that is another option. Six sheets are problematic, let
alone extremely expensive to custom frame. I do often have 6 sheets
linenbacked and have them leave about 3" of excess linen and then
stretch it on a stretcher bar the way you would a painting. That
gives you something to hang it up with. However, you have to build a
good stretcher bar with supports in the middle of the square so the
poster doesn't sag over time. The fabric is a bit different in it's
characteristics when it has paint on it. Paint acts as a natural
sealant and doesn't allow the fabric to stretch much. Paper mounted
to the fabric doesn't do the same thing so, unless it's stretched
properly, it can keep on stretching and sag. Of course, the poster
displayed this way, or any way, without a plexiglass covering, does
leave it susceptible to junk in the air or something getting spilled
on it, especially if you have little hands in the house that like to
touch everything. I had a customer once who had a very expensive
title he wanted to hang without the cost of framing. It was a
poster worth well over $20,000. Framing was about $3000. My feeling
is if you have something of that value, you just got to spring for
the framing to protect it......

I have an extra few inches left on the LB all the way around and
have it painted black or some appropriate color and then mount it to
a stretcher board. Pretty inexpensive and looks great on the wall.

This is a common way that I recommend to customers also. Once the
grommets are in place you can even hang it, like a tapestry, with
decorative chain. One thing to do is put grommets in the bottom two
corners and middle also and then put a wooden dowel behind the
bottom of the excess linen, put washers ands screws through the
front of the excess linen and now you have a weight to hold the
poster from rolling up on you from the bottom....good luck.

Here's a cheap way, if they left at least 1" all the way around. Get
some circular metal grommets and have someone cut matching size
holes in the top, and put around five or six across the top. Then
put hooks in the wall and voila!
It is not perfect, and your poster will pick up dust and dirt, but
it is cheap and quick.
