museo
Cultural exhibition space
Museo is Spanish and Italian for museum.
English speakers encounter it in names of institutions—the Museo del Prado, Museo Nacional—or in travel contexts where local signage uses the word.
It appears untranslated when preserving the original name feels more authentic or specific.
