unexhibited
Kept from view
Unexhibited describes something not displayed or shown publicly.
Art that remains unexhibited sits in storage or private collections rather than galleries: The museum holds thousands of unexhibited works.
The word can also describe qualities or emotions kept hidden: an unexhibited talent for music.
