art gallery
A public building in which works of art are exhibited, often in the form of changing exhibitions. Unlike a museum, a Kunsthalle usually does not have its own permanent collection.
Die neue Ausstellung in der Hamburger Kunsthalle zieht viele Besucher an.
The new exhibition at the Hamburger Kunsthalle is attracting many visitors.
The word 'Kunsthalle' is a compound made up of 'die Kunst' (art) and 'die Halle' (hall). So it literally describes a hall for art.
In unserer Stadt gibt es eine kleine, aber sehr moderne Kunsthalle.
There is a small but very modern art gallery in our city.
Pay attention to the preposition 'in' and the correct case: movement to the place is expressed with the accusative ('in die Kunsthalle'), while being there is expressed with the dative ('in der Kunsthalle').
Am Wochenende gehen wir in die Kunsthalle, um die neue Fotoausstellung zu sehen.
At the weekend, we are going to the art gallery to see the new photography exhibition.
Common verbs used in connection with 'Kunsthalle' are 'eine Kunsthalle besuchen' (to visit an art gallery), 'in eine Kunsthalle gehen' (to go to an art gallery), or 'Werke in einer Kunsthalle ausstellen' (to exhibit works in an art gallery).
Der berühmte Maler stellt seine neuesten Werke in der städtischen Kunsthalle aus.

museum
A museum collects, preserves, and displays significant objects and therefore typically has its own collection. A Kunsthalle (art exhibition hall) often presents changing exhibitions and usually has no permanent collection of its own. Museum is appropriate when referring to preserving a collection, while Kunsthalle is appropriate for changing art exhibitions.
Die Kunsthalle zeigt diesen Sommer eine wechselnde Ausstellung mit geliehenen Werken.
This summer, the art gallery is showing a rotating exhibition of borrowed works.
Das Museum bewahrt seine eigene Kunstsammlung und zeigt sie der Öffentlichkeit.
The museum preserves its own art collection and displays it to the public.
