Have you followed the two threads of discussion at all before sending this?


I agree with Warin (and the OED note I quoted before): in British English, a place that displays art is an art gallery, not a museum. The National Gallery, National Portrait Gallery, Tate Gallery, etc. in London are examples. So, in my opinion, are the Van Gogh Museum and Rijksmuseum: were it not for the element 'museum' in their names, we would think of these as art galleries, not museums.
