objects arranged to make you feel smart for exactly ninety minutes.
means a curated, temporary or permanent display of artifacts organized around a theme, story, or argument.
from from latin exhibere, to hold out or present; museums themselves descend from the mouseion, a shrine to the muses in ancient alexandria, though that one had scholars, not gift shops.
