museum district
Cultural institution neighborhood
A museum district is an area of a city where multiple museums are clustered together, often alongside related cultural institutions like galleries, concert halls, or universities.
Cities designate or develop these zones to concentrate cultural attractions: We spent the afternoon wandering the museum district.
