An art museum or art gallery is a building or space for the exhibition of art, customarily visual art. Museums can be public or private, but what distinguishes a museum is the ownership of an accumulation. Paintings are the most commonly exhibited art objects; however, sculpture, decorative arts, furniture, textiles, costume, drawings, pastels, watercolors, collages, prints, artists' books, photographs, and installation art are additionally customarily shown. Albeit primarily concerned with providing a space to show works of visual art, art galleries are sometimes used to host other artistic activities, such as performance art, music concerts, or poetry readings.

The term is utilized for both public galleries, which are non-profit
or publicly owned museums that exhibit culled accumulations of art. On
the other hand private galleries refers to the commercial enterprises
for the sale of art. However, both types of gallery may host
peregrinating exhibits or ephemeral exhibitions including art borrowed
from elsewhere.
In broad terms, in North American utilization the
word gallery alone often implicatively insinuates a private gallery,
while a public gallery is more liable to be described as an art museum.
In British and Commonwealth utilization, the word gallery alone
implicatively insinuates a public gallery, while a private or commercial
gallery will be distinguished utilizing those terms, and the word
museum alone is generally understood to refer to institutions holding
accumulations of historic, archaeological or scientific artefacts,
rather than of fine art.
