docents
Gallery tour leaders
Docents are guides at museums, zoos, or other educational institutions who lead tours and explain exhibits to visitors.
The role is often volunteer: The docent walked us through the Egyptian wing.
In some academic contexts, particularly in European universities, a docent is a lecturer or instructor below full professor rank.
