permanent exhibition
An exhibition in a museum or gallery that is shown for a long time or permanently, as opposed to a temporary special exhibition.
Die Sammlung zur Stadtgeschichte ist Teil der Dauerausstellung und kann jederzeit besichtigt werden.
The collection on the city's history is part of the permanent exhibition and can be viewed at any time.
The word is a clear compound of 'Dauer' (duration/permanent time) and 'Ausstellung' (exhibition). So it literally describes an exhibition that is intended to last.
Viele Museen finanzieren sich hauptsächlich durch ihre Dauerausstellung.
Many museums finance themselves mainly through their permanent exhibition.
Common verbs used with this word are 'besichtigen' (to view/visit), 'besuchen' (to visit), 'sich ansehen' (to look at), or 'zeigen' (to show).
Am Wochenende wollen wir uns die neue Dauerausstellung im Technikmuseum ansehen.
At the weekend, we want to go see the new permanent exhibition at the technology museum.
Pay attention to the case with the preposition 'in': you go 'in die Dauerausstellung' (into the permanent exhibition; accusative, movement), but you see something 'in der Dauerausstellung' (in the permanent exhibition; dative, location).
Wir gehen morgen in die Dauerausstellung zur römischen Geschichte.
Tomorrow we are going to the permanent exhibition on Roman history.
exhibition / issuing
'die Ausstellung' and 'die Dauerausstellung' both refer to a public presentation, often in a museum or gallery. 'Ausstellung' is general and does not say anything about how long it is shown. 'Dauerausstellung' is more specific: it remains in the museum for a long time or permanently and is often part of the regular offering. Learners may confuse the words because a permanent exhibition is also an exhibition. If the duration does not matter, 'Ausstellung' is enough. If you want to distinguish it from a temporary special exhibition, 'Dauerausstellung' is the right word.
In der Dauerausstellung des Museums sieht man viele Funde aus der Stadtgeschichte.
In the museum's permanent exhibition, you can see many finds from the city's history.
