hello there,
I put the maps on the wall with painter's tape. I did not want to do anything too perment. My son will probably change his mind in a few years. I like the painter's tape because it does not stick to the paint.
Hope this helped!

Hi, I'm not sure how this person did this, but interior designer Lisa Kauffman Tharp shared with me how she did it in this room covered in nautical charts:
