photo exhibitions

Displayed photograph collections

Photo exhibitions are curated displays of photographs, typically in galleries, museums, or public spaces.

They may showcase a single photographer's work, explore a theme, or survey a historical period.

The term emphasizes the artistic or documentary presentation of photography as distinct from casual display: The museum's photo exhibition on the civil rights movement drew large crowds.
