Translation for exhibitions includes a wide range of materials produced in the planning and operation of exhibitions—covering art, industry, publishing, technology, and more.

Common items include invitations, programs, artwork descriptions, docent scripts, contracts, and event scenarios. It is vital to use appropriate language and tone depending on the subject and nature of the exhibition.

Most translation requests come from exhibition organizers such as art galleries, museums and expositions, or from individual artists. Translators with experience in art history and related exhibitions perform the work in accordance with the purpose of the exhibition and documents.
