It has been my experience that Fractals or ‘Perfect Resize’ as it has been rebranded is the best tool. But the 10% stuff works too.

Scott Kelby, in one of his early photoshop books, suggested that one could blow up photos by a few percentage points at a time.  I tried it with a jpeg file and it worked.  For example, increasing the size by 5 percent fifteen times will approximately double the size of the image (2.08.)  I don't l know if it will work for you, but it might be worth trying.  You can solve the equation (1.0x)^n = y, for n, where x is the percentage increase for each iteration, y is the final size and n is the number of iterations.

Oops, I calculated at 3000 pixels on the long dimension rather than 4000.
Please make adjustments accordingly.
Sorry about that.

The problem appears to be that the image magnification is about 44 times.
The image resolution is about 83 pixels per millimeter.
So, what you get if everything is perfect is 2 pixels per millimeter or about 50 dpi.
That's OK if everyone is going to be 15 feet away from the image or so.

Any chance the museum would go for a black and white half tone for a background?
