traveling exhibition

Itinerant museum show

A traveling exhibition is a curated display of artworks, artifacts, or objects that moves from venue to venue rather than remaining at a single institution.

Museums often host traveling exhibitions to bring notable collections to wider audiences: The King Tut traveling exhibition drew record crowds across North America.

Also called a touring exhibition.
