visningen

Visningen is a term used in Danish and Norwegian to denote the act of showing something to an audience, or the event during which something is presented. The noun visning is formed from the verb vise, meaning to show, and visningen is the definite singular form meaning “the viewing” or “the showing.”

In real estate, visning refers to a scheduled viewing of a property, where potential buyers or renters visit the space to inspect it and ask questions. A real estate agent typically coordinates times for one or more visitors, and attendees may compare features, layout, and conditions. In Danish, fremvisning is another common term used for a formal showing, but visning remains widely understood.

In cultural and museum contexts, visningen can denote a viewing or presentation of artworks or exhibits, such as a gallery opening or the viewing hours published by an institution.

The word usage varies by country and context; in everyday speech visningen is most often linked to property viewings, while in arts contexts it describes the act of presenting an exhibit to the public.
