Spanish term

El recorrido por un museo

Spanish to English Art/Literary Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting
"El recorrido por un museo nos debería permitir que hubiera una multiplicidad de experiencias estéticas"

I wonder which term suits best: itinerary? tour?

Lisa, I don't think it is talking about a guided tour. It is more about the general and theoretical idea of what visiting a museum should provide the visitor with in terms of aesthetic experiences.

@ Luis Are they offering a guided tour?

An itinerary is something that involves more planning, like on a vacation. At a museum you would get a "guided tour."

A tour is also something relatively short, like a visit to a museum might me.
