visiting exhibitions

Temporary museum shows

Visiting exhibitions are temporary displays that travel between museums, galleries, or other venues rather than belonging permanently to one institution.

A museum might host a visiting exhibition of Impressionist paintings for three months before it moves to another city.

The term distinguishes these traveling shows from a venue's permanent collection: The visiting exhibition on ancient Egypt drew record crowds.
