Here are additional ones I know of (mostly because I participated in). Most were one-off; I think the touring phenomenon is relatively recent for origami exhibitions.

I don't recall more details, perhaps others can fill in. I have picked the listings above from my list of exhibitions that I've participated in, which you can find here: http://langorigami.com/exhibitions In the above, I didn't include ones that I was the only origami artist, or ones that weren't primarily origami. Many of the links and descriptions on my listing have died over the years, alas. (I would appreciate any corrections or updates.) Hope this helps! Robert
