educational exhibits
Museum teaching installations
Educational exhibits are displays designed to teach viewers about a subject—found in museums, science centers, zoos, and similar institutions.
They combine objects, images, and text to convey information, often with interactive elements that let visitors engage directly: The children spent an hour at the educational exhibits about marine life.
The term distinguishes instructional displays from purely artistic or entertainment-focused ones.
