museum tours
Guided exhibit visits
Museum tours are guided visits through a museum, typically led by a docent or audio guide explaining exhibits and their significance.
Tours may be general overviews or focused on specific collections: The museum offers tours of its Egyptian wing every afternoon.
Self-guided tours let visitors proceed at their own pace with maps or recorded commentary.
