"Exhibitions usually occur within a cultural or educational setting such as a museum, art gallery, park, library, exhibition hall, or World's fairs."
"Exhibitions can include many things such as art in both major museums and smaller galleries, interpretive exhibitions, natural history museums and history museums, and also varieties such as more commercially focused exhibitions and trade fairs."
"In British English, the word 'exhibition' is used for a collection of items placed on display and the event as a whole, which in American English is usually an 'exhibit'."
"While many exhibitions are shown in just one venue, some exhibitions are shown in multiple locations and are called traveling exhibitions, and some are online exhibitions. Exhibitions featuring especially fragile or valuable objects, or live animals—may be shown only during a formal presentation, under the close supervision of an attendant or educator. Temporary exhibits that are transported from institution to institution are traveling exhibits."
"Exhibitions range from an extraordinarily large event such as a World's fair exposition to small one-artist solo shows or a display of just one item."
"Often a team of specialists is required to assemble and execute an exhibition; these specialists vary depending on the type of said exhibit."
"Curators are sometimes involved as the people who select the items in an exhibition."
"Writers and editors are sometimes needed to write text, labels, and accompanying printed material such as catalogs and books. Architects, exhibition designers, graphic designers, and other designers may be needed to shape the exhibition space and give form to the editorial content."
"Organizing and holding exhibitions also requires effective event planning, management, and logistics."
