Definition
展览 (zhǎnlǎn) is a verb meaning 'to exhibit, to put on display' — it specifically refers to organizing or holding an exhibition of items (art, artifacts, products) for public viewing. It differs from 展示 (zhǎnshì), which is a broader 'to show/display' that can be one-on-one or in daily contexts, and from 展出 (zhǎnchū), which emphasizes the act of putting items out for display at an event.
