"in exhibition"?

English Language & Usage Asked on December 30, 2020

The Bosarges’ $5 million mummy now is in exhibition at the Museum of Natural History in Houston. (source)

I am not familiar with “in exhibition”. I would always use “on exhibition”. My own research on Google Ngrams and Google Books is inconclusive, showing “in exhibition” being far less common. I am not sure “in exhibition” means exactly the same as “on exhibition”.

Do people say “in exhibition”?

One Answer

It is possible they were thinking of On Exhibition when they were saying In an exhibition. The result: In Exhibition would be not an unusual mistake, to make what you are saying fit what you think it is supposed to look like. It is likely why there is any occurrence of the other phrase.
