culture vulture

Avid museum-goer

A culture vulture is someone who eagerly consumes art, music, theater, literature, and other cultural offerings, often with more enthusiasm than discernment.

The term carries a mildly mocking tone, suggesting someone who devours cultural experiences voraciously rather than savoring them thoughtfully.

She's such a culture vulture—three museums and an opera in one weekend.
