unfurled
Opened and displayed
Unfurled means opened or spread out from a rolled or folded state.
A flag unfurls in the wind; a sail unfurls when released.
The word often carries a sense of revelation or display: She unfurled the map across the table.
Figuratively, events or plans unfurl as they develop and become visible: The scandal unfurled over several weeks.
