How it's used
While 展覽 is the standard term for an exhibition, people often use the shortened form 展 in casual speech when referring to specific types of events, such as 書展 for a book fair or 車展 for a motor show. It is a formal noun that fits well in professional or academic contexts but remains perfectly natural when discussing weekend leisure activities.

Common mistake
Learners sometimes confuse 展覽 with 表現, which means performance or behavior. Remember that 展覽 is strictly for static displays or organized events where items are showcased, not for live actions or personal conduct.
