näyttelyohjelma

A näyttelyohjelma, which translates to exhibition program or show program, is a document or publication associated with an exhibition. It serves as a guide for visitors, providing information about the displayed items, artists, or themes. The content of a näyttelyohjelma can vary widely depending on the nature of the exhibition. For art exhibitions, it might include details about the artworks, the artists' biographies, and interpretative texts explaining the concepts behind the pieces. In a museum context, it could outline the historical period or subject matter being presented, along with key artifacts and their significance.

Typically, a näyttelyohjelma is distributed at the entrance of the exhibition or made available for purchase. It often includes a floor plan or map to help visitors navigate the exhibition space. Other common elements can be a list of participating institutions or sponsors, as well as practical information such as opening hours and accessibility details. For more specialized exhibitions, like those at trade fairs or pet shows, the program might detail the schedule of events, judging criteria, or participating companies. The primary purpose is to enhance the visitor's understanding and experience of the exhibition by offering context, information, and a structured way to engage with the content.
