How far back does exhibitions data go? #19

Closed dylan-k closed 10 years ago

I'm working on a general introduction to 'exhibitions' and I wonder, how far back does the exhibitions data go? To the inception of the museum, or is there data about anything that may have been exhibited previously to that?

Exhibitions go back to before the museum was born, sometimes to the 1850's. I can get you more concrete date ranges tomorrow.
