Morphology
The meaning 'a building or institution where works of art are displayed' is directly and compositionally derived from 'art' (the domain of objects) + 'museum' (a place that exhibits items). This simple noun–noun compound follows a common, cross‑linguistic pattern and would be immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.
Etymology
Art museum names a building where people put art like paintings and sculptures so everyone can come and look. The word museum has long meant a special place to keep and show things, so art museum means a 'public place' where art is shown and kept safe.
