exhibits

Museum's displayed collection

Exhibits functions as both verb and noun around the idea of showing or displaying.

To exhibit is to present something for others to see—an artist exhibits paintings, a patient exhibits symptoms, a lawyer exhibits evidence.

As a noun, an exhibit is something displayed, especially in a museum or courtroom: The dinosaur exhibit opens next month.

Exhibit A is the first piece of evidence presented.
