: This is in fact a true translation of the word, Hanne, but it is an extended meaning which is required for this case in question: ie used for materials displayed at an exhibition.

Art display panel
Could this be it?
Note from asker:
| Thank you, Becky! This seems to fit precisely. I'll wait a bit, though, in case something even better is suggested, before I grade. |
| To your question: It is a mixture of the two. She was an illustrator, doing documentation work for the Norwegian Flora produced at the University. It is an exhibition of her work in that context. |
| Sorry, Becky. The last note was to Bill. |

Poster
the corrrect term is "poster". This is an interesting way researchers (and others) have of displaying and presenting their work at a conference or exhibition, which is more than just a "stand" with printed material, but not so involved as a seminar/workshop or lecture.
Note from asker:
| It isn't about seminars or conferences. It is a travelling exhibition, at the moment housed in Bergen Museum |
Peer comment(s):
| agree |
Jeanette Waldvogel
: Yes - definitely poster. Researchers bring posters to conferences to display during poster sessions.

In which case "poster stand" might be better. See http://www.airbornevisuals.com/popdisplays/sign-displays/pos...

| Hi Don! Thanks for the suggestion. But this is something standing on the floor. |
| Thanks for your last tip/ suggestion. It is a very good alternative translation. I may be needing it sooner or later. |
