Word that means “to walk around a room” in the context of looking at things

single-word-requestsverbs

Not with criminal intent (i.e. case, prowl), but curiosity, as in a museum or in a new friend's house. "Roam" and "stroll" seem more about the movement. Maybe there is no word that implies walking and looking? Example:

He () [around] the museum.

Best Answer

Browsed refers to looking around, at about the pace of strolled. It could be used without the preposition around: browsed the museum.
