(pick an answer)
Special exhibitions rarely change but the permanent collection is always offering new objects to see.
All the works are owned by the museum but the permanent collection is always on display while special exhibitions are only taken out for some occasions.
The permanent collection usually requires an admission fee but special exhibitions do not.
Special exhibitions contain works borrowed from other museums and collections and the permanent collection is maintained by the host museum
