An object, item, or collection of merchandise placed publicly on view is referred to by several terms depending on the setting. In museums, art galleries, and trade shows, items on display are called "exhibits," "installations," or "artifacts." In retail stores and commercial storefronts, goods arranged for customer viewing are called "displays," "merchandise showcases," or "window dressings." In a broader sense, anything conspicuously presented for public observation can be described as being "on exhibition," "on show," or "on view." These terms highlight the intentional arrangement and visibility designed to capture the attention of spectators, visitors, or prospective buyers passing by.
