How it's used
Refers specifically to items displayed in a museum or gallery setting. While it sounds formal, it is the standard term used in both casual conversation and official museum signage. It is rarely used for items displayed in a shop window, where terms like 貨品 or 櫥窗展示 are more appropriate.

Common mistake
Avoid using this for items sold in a shop, as it implies a cultural or historical context rather than a commercial one. Beginners sometimes confuse it with 展品, which is a more concise version often used in professional contexts.
