shop windows

Merchandise viewing panes

Shop windows are the large glass display areas at the front of retail stores, used to showcase merchandise and attract customers from the street.

The term often appears figuratively for any prominent display or presentation: The conference was a shop window for new research.

Window shopping means browsing these displays without intending to buy.
