Instead of gawking, they nod and examine what is shown, looking but not touching, all while keeping up a steady-but-silent exchange over all there is to see, and chiefly centred around its potential for replication and use in their world—at least when something of magic is observed.
R&D at Extensive Enterprises would salivate at the prospect to examine, reverse-engineer and replicate the magics of this world.
As to the architecture, well, that conversation is more audible. Mainly a series of compliments about the design and the designers who created it.
They might even be coveting some of it, wishing to add some of the ornate embellishments to their own homes. Spoken, of course, in a tone of appreciation for what Mia has here.
