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).

museum
'das Museum' and 'die Kunsthalle' are both places where you can visit exhibitions. A museum often collects, preserves, and displays its own objects, such as historical items, art, or scientific pieces. A Kunsthalle mainly shows art and usually does not have its own permanent collection, but rather changing exhibitions. The words can be confused because you can see art in both buildings. If you are talking generally about collections or history, 'Museum' fits better. If you are talking about current art exhibitions, 'Kunsthalle' is often more precise.
In der Kunsthalle gibt es gerade eine Ausstellung mit modernen Fotografien.
There is currently an exhibition of modern photography at the Kunsthalle.
