traveling exhibit

Mobile museum show

A traveling exhibit is a curated display—of art, artifacts, or educational materials—designed to move from venue to venue rather than remain at a single institution.

Museums often host traveling exhibits to attract visitors with content they couldn't produce themselves: The King Tut traveling exhibit drew record crowds.

Also called a touring exhibition.
