Frequently Asked Questions
What does an art gallery do?
Traditionally, an art gallery is a space for artists to showcase their work, and for art lovers to discover new artists and admire a wide range of art. Contemporary art galleries differ from traditional ones by exhibiting live art such as dance and performance art as well as digital art like video, film, and analogue art.
What is the difference between a gallery and a museum?
Museums are public institutions in service of the general public, offering free entertainment, education, and artistic and cultural enrichment. On the other hand, galleries tend to be private businesses that serve a selected group of people and may require a fee to enter. A museum’s subject matter tends to be broader than that of a gallery.
