Hello,
I'm not sure I understand the definitions of exposition and exhibition on Cambridge Dictionary.
Is "exposition" commonly associated with industrial products and arts, while "exhibition' is applied to arts?
For examples:
- Fashion Exhibition? (correct?) (I think fashion is (relevant to) art.)
- Fashion Exposition. (correct?)
- Machinery Exposion (correct?)
- Machinery Exhibition (wrong?)
Thanks!

I think there's no hard line, but my feeling is: "exposition" is associated with commercial products "exhibition" is applied to arts
