Exhibit vs. Exhibition My whole take on this question has to do with the interpretive nature of the presentation. Exhibits are interpretive, and usually focus on a cultural (in the anthropological sense) historic, or scientific theme and content. The more interdisciplinary, the better. Exhibitions show artistic collections and are not particularly interpretive. Just read almost any art exhibition label. They don't tell you much beyond the artist's name, date, dimensions, and medium. There's not much interpretation going on there. I try to avoid the word "display." IMHO, displays are for department stores. HBC ***************************************** Henry B.
