exhibitführung

Exhibitführung refers to a guided tour of an exhibition, typically conducted by a museum educator, docent, or specialist. The purpose of an exhibitführung is to enhance the visitor's understanding and appreciation of the displayed objects or artworks by providing context, interpretation, and engaging narratives. Guides often share historical background, explain artistic techniques, highlight key pieces, and answer visitor questions. These tours can be tailored to different age groups and interest levels, ranging from general overview tours to specialized thematic explorations. Exhibitführungen are a common feature in art museums, historical societies, science centers, and other cultural institutions, aiming to make exhibits more accessible and enriching for the public. They can be offered in various languages and may be group-based or even personalized. The experience is designed to foster deeper engagement with the subject matter and encourage critical thinking and discussion.
