no, I think there are lots of meanings for the word "gallery", ranging from architecture over mining,  to kind of museum to private exhibition spaces that are part of the contemporary art discourse. The latter 2 are IMHO different enough to not put them under the same main tag.

it's rather constricting, to me museums are not in the first place a kind of leisure institution but more for heritage and education.
