art exhibition
Gallery of works
An art exhibition is a public display of artworks, typically in a gallery, museum, or other venue.
Exhibitions may showcase a single artist's work, a thematic collection, or pieces from a particular period or movement.
Some are permanent installations; others travel between venues or run for limited engagements: The Vermeer exhibition drew record crowds.
