The most reliable report of Voynich's exhibitions of his books and manuscripts is a paper in the Bulletin of the Art Institute of Chicago.

The most important thing to know is that Voynich acquired not just the Voynich MS from the Jesuits, but it was one of roughly 30 manuscripts. Many of them were displayed in the same way in these exhibitions.

Access to the manuscript was certainly restricted after Voynich's death. Many people hoping to decipher the text tried in vain to get copies from E.L.V. This did not change when Kraus became the owner. The MS seems to have spent most of its time in safety deposite vaults.
This also had a good side effect, namely for radio-carbon dating.
This dating was made difficult for the Vinland map, as it was strongly affected by the radio-active fall-out from WW II detonations. The Voynich MS did not have this problem.
