How it's used
Refers specifically to large-scale, often international or industry-wide events rather than small art displays or local shop sales. It carries a formal tone, so it is more likely to appear in news reports or official event titles than in casual conversation between friends. When speaking informally, people often prefer using the loanword 展覽 or simply 展.
