38 -esposizione-
Nota d'usoIl sostantivo esposizione riferito a una mostra d'arte e simili non viene di norma tradotto con exposition a meno che non si tratti di una grande fiera internazionale. In questo contesto si preferisce infatti utilizzare il sostantivo exhibition: L'esposizione del terzo piano è temporaneamente chiusa, the exhibition on the third floor is temporarily closed. -
