Non seulement Jos vous entrainait dans les foires d'Art (Fiac, TEFAF…) mais elle vous poussait aussi dans les musées : le "Reina Sofia" à chaque séjour espagnol, le MOMA à New York, la Fondation Barnes à Philadelphie (elle se moquait d'elle-même en comparant son accrochage personnel dans sa maison de Bruxelles à celui de Barnes à Philadelphie) étaient parmi ses préférés.

Selected
her private (art) collection/or artwork hanging on her own walls
Or
her own personal collection
She is not saying (as Nikki suggests) that she prefers her own collection but is laughingly comparing it to the Barnes (private) collection and other collections mentioned which "étaient parmi ses préférés"
Yes "accrochage" =hanging but you would not say "her own hanging" in English as that would indicate suicide! You would have to include art or artworks or collection

French term (edited):
son accrochage personnel
what she had on her own walls
I think you can be fairly straightforward here. The idea, as I understand it, is that the person jokingly says she prefers what she has on her own walls in her home in Brussels to the works of the exhibition in question.

(her) own hanging
L'accrochage est un terme technique de muséographie désignant la présentation des tableaux:

on peut donc supposer que la présentation dans la maison de Bruxelles avait l'objet d'une certaine recherche
