Agree

I was only showing that we can have a tag culture=museum that we can discuss 
later, and proposing a definition for it:

"culture=museum" is "every building or intitution that names itself as".

Art galleries are not museums, they are shops. If an institution SELLS art 
works, it has to expose them in order for potential buyers to see, so it is 
shop=something. If it does NOT SELL, it is culture=museum (even if it sells 
reproductions, booklets, guides, postals and the such, which in turn can be a 
subsection on the main bulding like shop=kiosk or the like).

So, MOMA (New York) or Museo del Prado (Madrid) are culture=museum, and David 
Zwirner Gallery (New York) or CFA (Berlin) are not (shop=something).
