How it's used
Focuses on the formal act of presenting items for public viewing in a professional or organized setting. While it can be used for smaller displays, it is most commonly associated with museums, galleries, or trade shows. It carries a sense of curation and intent that distinguishes it from simply showing someone an object.
Examples
The museum is exhibiting many precious artifacts this week.
Do you know when they will exhibit that batch of paintings?

Common mistake
Avoid using this for casual situations like showing a friend a new toy or a photo on your phone. For casual display, use 拎出嚟俾人睇 instead.
