studio tour

Behind-the-scenes visit

A studio tour is a guided visit through a film, television, or recording studio, where visitors see soundstages, backlots, and production facilities: We took the studio tour at Universal.

The term also applies to an artist's open house, where painters or craftspeople invite the public into their workspaces, often as a coordinated community event: The annual studio tour features thirty local artists.
