Anyone can be a museum tour guide if they are trained by the museum in how the museum works, its mission, and the collections it holds. Many museum tour guides are volunteers, while others are paid by the museum as a full time job.

The role of a tour guide in a museum is to show guests what the museum is about, and some of the artifacts and pieces in the museum's displayed collection.

In American English museum guides are called docents. Docents are usually volunteers who have undergone extensive training, and occasionally conduct research using the museums resources.

If the guide is not simply called a tour guide, he or she may be called a docent.
