Si parla di un museo "a tema" che verrà presto aperto:

"Lungo un percorso storico-didattico, si potranno conoscere le varie fasi dell'evoluzione di uno dei prodotti più diffusi nel mondo".

Nel glossario kudoz c'è già:
percorso espositivo display/exhibition

ma vorrei un'altra possibilità, se possibilie..

Thank you in advance!

Yes, I have also been thinking of walk-through, as that can be used in an abstract and general meaning, and since in this context it is not clear what percorso exactly involves, this can be a tricky way to cover both possobilities! :)

Quindi sarebbe: "A historical and educational walk-through..." oppure "A walk-through in history and education..."

rework sentence


Explanation:
If you check the Kudoz glossary, you'll come across a number of suggestions for "percorso", and I think your best bet would be to rework your sentence, somthing along the lines of "this highly informative exhibition/display/collection will take visitors on a journey to discover some of the key points etc."

rephrase... path through the history of - or...


Explanation:
I think it might be phrased differently in English, e.g. along the lines of:
"...As you walk round the museum, you follow the path through the history of/are taken through/guided through the various stages in the (history of the) development of ..."

Enter the museum through the replica of the graphite mine which saw the foundation of the pencil industry more than 350 years ago. Then you can follow the path of pencil making from the reign of Elizabeth lst to the present day. Through words, pictures and carefully restored machinery, the Cumberland Pencil Museum takes you through the fascinating history of the pencil. A quiz for children makes the whole visit an adventure in discovery.

Asker: anche io avevo pensato a "you can follow the path of" ma mi sembrava troppo italiano.. ah, ah.. ;) Comunque è un'unica frase su questo museo.. non un testo intero.. grazie intanto!

Asker: bella la seconda proposta, grazie!

Explanation:
Solitamente si cerca di evitare di inserire termini latini nelle traduzioni in inglese, almeno così mi era stato insegnato...
