"Now on exhib"

Hello, Strands fans! The last word made me think a bit, though, as I've never literally said it out loud.

Still, the theme was easy to understand. The words "now on display" immediately made me think of a museum or gallery. And sure enough, I was able to trace the word "museum" backwards and add "art" to make the spangram of ARTMUSEUM.

From there, the answers flowed on and on until the final answer came: SCULPTURE came first, followed by PAINTING to complete the bottom half of the board.

Just above the end of the spangram on the top half was COLLAGE, and above that was MURAL.

As you can see in the intro, the last one gave me some problems. I knew there was only one answer left, but I found it tricky to figure out the anagram left by the remaining letters: LIAPTHORHG.

Eventually, I figured it out: LITHOGRAPH.
