fine arts museum
Painting exhibition venue
A fine arts museum is an institution that collects, preserves, and exhibits works of visual art—primarily painting, sculpture, and drawing.
Distinguished from natural history or science museums by its focus on aesthetic objects rather than specimens or artifacts.
Most major cities have at least one: We spent the afternoon at the fine arts museum.
