A triptych is a work of art that is divided into three sections, or three carved panels that are hinged together and can be folded shut or displayed open. It is therefore a type of polyptych, the term for all multi-panel works.
A literary or musical triptych generally consists of three closely related or contrasting themes or parts. Triptych
derives from the Greek triptychos ("having three folds"), formed by combining tri- ("three") and ptych ("fold" or "layer")
