definition: A gallery is a place where works of art, such as paintings and sculptures, are displayed. In most galleries, the works of art are for sale. Galleries are similar to museums but they are usually smaller, and the works of art change more often. Also, museums only display art. They don't sell the works that they show.
The artist was very happy to have sold two of his paintings at the gallery downtown.
