gallery hopping
Museum circuit stroll
Gallery hopping is visiting multiple art galleries in succession, typically in a neighborhood with many galleries clustered together.
The practice often coincides with gallery openings or art walks when venues stay open late and offer refreshments: We spent Saturday afternoon gallery hopping in Chelsea.
The pattern echoes bar hopping—moving from one spot to the next in a single outing.
