museum guides

Gallery walk narrators

Museum guides are people who lead visitors through museum exhibits, providing information and context about the collections.

They may be professional staff or trained volunteers (docents).

The term also refers to printed materials or audio devices that help visitors navigate exhibits independently: The museum guide included a map and descriptions of the highlights.
