Exhibits & Exhibitors

Exhibits are at the heart of the DGMS, providing local community members, groups, and institutions a rare opportunity to showcase their collections and share their stories. On the other side of the coin, exhibits provide visitors with perspectives and points of reference —
touchstones for starting, advancing, or curating their own collections. The competitive and noncompetitive exhibits feature world-class specimens reflecting the show theme. Collectors and museum curators can frequently be found on the show floor to discuss their exhibits and
answer visitors’ questions. This year’s special exhibits include:
