gallery exhibitions

Museum art shows

Gallery exhibitions are public displays of artwork in dedicated spaces, typically organized around a theme, artist, or period.

Museums mount permanent and temporary exhibitions; commercial galleries use exhibitions to present work for sale.

The term encompasses everything from solo shows featuring one artist to group exhibitions bringing together multiple voices: The gallery exhibition opens Friday with a reception for the artist.
