what other word is used for the volunteers who interact with patrons at a museum?

> The title "docent" is not widely used outside the United States, with the terms "guide", "facilitator", or "educator" preferred.

Interestingly, the same word is used at some european universities to mean roughly "associate professor".

Nailed it.

It is not all that widely used in the US either, in my experience anyway.
