Photography tips: Make the exhibit the "background focus". Position the person to the side front or diagonally behind the exhibit, slightly turned towards it. Shoot at eye level to let the exhibit occupy the main area of the frame, with the person as an embellishment. This way, you highlight the exhibit while also showing the viewing scene.
