näyttelykierros

Näyttelykierros is a Finnish term that translates to "exhibition tour" or "gallery walk." It refers to the act of visiting and viewing an exhibition, typically in a museum, art gallery, or other cultural venue. This can be a self-guided experience where individuals move through the exhibition space at their own pace, or it can be a guided tour led by an expert, such as a curator, docent, or artist.

During a näyttelykierros, visitors engage with the exhibits by observing artworks, reading information panels, and often listening to audio guides or the explanations provided by a tour leader. The purpose is to learn about the subject matter, appreciate the artistic or historical significance of the items on display, and gain a deeper understanding of the exhibition's theme or narrative.

The duration and focus of a näyttelykierros can vary greatly depending on the size and complexity of the exhibition, as well as the visitor's interest. Some tours are short and highlight key pieces, while others are more comprehensive, covering all aspects of the exhibition. The term emphasizes the active process of moving through and engaging with the displayed items.
