Missing a fantastic exhibition is the pits. You were absolutely going to see it, but got super busy. Time just slipped away from you. Now it’s closed.

You’ll never see those works exhibited together in the same space.
You missed an innovative, once-in-a-lifetime, multi-sensory display of a favorite object.
You lost out on a chance to view an artist’s work at a pivotal moment in their career.

Exhibition regret is real. 😞

EXH.CAT can help help prevent it.
