museum galleries

Art display rooms

Museum galleries are the rooms or spaces within a museum where art, artifacts, or exhibits are displayed for public viewing.

The term emphasizes the exhibition function rather than the building itself: We spent hours wandering the museum galleries.

A museum may contain multiple galleries, each dedicated to different periods, artists, or themes.
