  • Located in the administrative territorial entity:
  • Location: (Gallery or galleries exhibited in; can also add start time and end time qualifiers to each location if the show moves)

  • Start time:
  • End time:
  • Curator:
  • Organizer: (can be different from place(s) exhibited)
  • Exhibited creator: (exhibited creator (P10661), proposed in 2022, is the best one for artists, as a "participant" is expected to be alive during the show, and "Contributor to the creative work or subject" seems too vague). Each can have the qualifier number of works, referencing an exhibition catalogue.

Possible other properties[edit]

  • Date of official opening:
  • Date of official closure:
  • Point in time: (if one didn't know the start or end dates)

  • Link to the exhibition's Wikipedia article

Possibly not needed[edit]

  • Director/manager: (What does this convey that curator and organizer does not? Do art exhibitions have formal directors/managers?)
  • Owned by: (Is this supposed to convey an exhibition of an individual person's collection? Could that collection itself exist in Wikidata instead?)
  • Coordinates: (Wouldn't this be covered by the coordinates of the venue(s)?)
