historical displays
Curated past artifacts
Historical displays are exhibits or presentations showing artifacts, documents, or recreations from the past.
Museums mount historical displays; so do libraries, visitor centers, and heritage sites.
The term covers everything from a case of Civil War memorabilia to an interactive timeline: The historical displays at the fort explain frontier life in the 1800s.
