public display
Visible to all
A public display is any exhibition, demonstration, or show of something in a space where others can observe it.
The phrase often appears in public display of affection—kissing, hand-holding, or other intimate behavior in view of strangers.
Museums and galleries hold items on public display.
The phrase can also describe conspicuous behavior meant to be noticed: His outburst was a public display of frustration.
