The Salon (French: Salon), or rarely Paris Salon (French: Salon de Paris), beginning in 1725 was the official art exhibition of the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Paris, France. Between 1748–1890 it was the greatest annual or biannual art event in the world. Since 1881 it was organized by the Société des Artistes Français.--wikipedia
The Salon, in its early formation, acted as an audit of what art was being made at one place at one time- in this case the Academy. Taken as a whole body-often from floor to ceiling-it is the attempt to create an overlapping impression of art in mass. Modern "Salon hung" art shows feel young, rebellious, low budget and much like their namesake attempting to survey some art makingin mass.
My first art show ever was in my house when I live in San Luis Obispo. The city had an art walk and we were near downtown, so we put up signs to lure people off the path and to our opening. We also made photo copied flyers and left them at the "real" galleries. It worked pretty well.
