Sometimes it's hard to *see* the exhibition while you're *seeing* the exhibition.

A digital version lets you explore it again from anywhere. Take your time. And wear your biggest hat.

We love exhibitions.

We love them so much that we built a database to help people find exhibitions at their favorite museums in the US.

It’s called EXH.CAT.

Search and discover current, upcoming, and past exhibitions in over 250 cities.

We're at 11,500+ exhibitions and adding more every week!
Five sample search results for a search for "Your Favorite Museum" in the EXH.CAT exhibitions database. Results include a future exhibition, a current exhibition, an exhibition that's about to close, a digital exhibition, and a past exhibition.
