Morphology
interpretive + program
The meaning 'an educational series that explains exhibits or topics' is directly compositional from 'interpretive' (relating to interpretation or explanation) + 'program' (a planned set of activities). Although 'program' can mean computer software, it also commonly denotes organized events or activities in English, so a B1 learner who knows both constituent senses should be able to infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Interpretive program comes from the idea of a guide who 'interprets' objects or nature for visitors, turning facts into simple stories people can follow. So it means an activity or talk that helps visitors 'understand' an exhibit or place.
