museum exhibit

Gallery's featured piece

A museum exhibit is a curated display of objects, artworks, or information presented for public viewing and education within a museum setting.

Exhibits may be permanent fixtures of a museum's collection or temporary installations that travel between venues.

The term can refer to either the entire themed presentation or to individual items on display: The dinosaur skeleton is the museum's most popular exhibit.

We spent three hours exploring the new exhibit on ancient Egypt.
