My comment:

"Abrités du regard" should be translated as an expression so "abrité" does not mean shelter. I would not take it literally. I am not sure what the walls are made of; it could be a partition, displays, depending on the context. "Parois" refers to thin walls.

Thanks. They are "partitions" that divide different parts of each room that are part of a museum exhibition.
