art galleries
Where paintings hang
Art galleries are spaces where visual art is displayed, either for sale or for public viewing.
Commercial galleries represent artists and sell their work, while museum galleries house permanent or rotating exhibitions.
The term applies both to the institution and the physical rooms: We spent the afternoon wandering through the gallery's contemporary wing.
Gallery openings are social events marking new exhibitions.
