Right. https://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/gallery https://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/museum Gallery: A room or building for the display or sale of works of art: an art gallery the National Gallery Museum: A building in which objects of historical, scientific, artistic, or cultural interest are stored and exhibited: [as name]: the Museum of Modern Art Also the British English is contradicting the use in OSM and the definition in the OSM wiki where museum is non-art only and Gallery is a Museum for art. That seems completely made up. Thanks Matthijs for bringing this conversation up. Now how do we fix it?
