touring exhibit

Wandering museum collection

A touring exhibit is a museum or gallery display designed to travel between venues rather than remain permanently installed.

Major museums send touring exhibits to smaller institutions, expanding public access to significant collections: The King Tut touring exhibit drew record crowds across the country.

Also called a traveling exhibit.
