Tech/Engineering - Archaeology / Description of Small baths in Tivoli
Italian term or phrase: esposto nel percorso museale
Context: L’esistenza poi di un piano superiore è assicurata dal rinvenimento in stato di crollo, al di sopra degli intonaci e delle travi lignee del piano inferiore, di buona parte di uno splendido pavimento in opus sectile di marmi pregiati, quali il porfido, il serpentino, il giallo antico e l’africano, in parte ricostruito ed esposto nel percorso museale.

exhibited in the museum
Explanation:
Museums are always a "percorso" in Italian a path that a visitor takes through it, when visiting. They are not in English, so very often you can just omit the word, as in this case, since everything exhibited in the museum is on the path taken by visitors walking through it.

agree  philgoddard: Yes, they're in the museum whether you follow a guided tour or not.

  -> The "percorso" is not necessarily "guided". When Italian museun curators design an exhibition, which pictures and where to put them (the layout), they see it as a sequential route through the exhibition, so "percorso" becomes a metonym for the exhibition
