Morphology

picture + gallery

The meaning 'a collection or display of pictures' is directly and compositionally derived from 'picture' (an image) + 'gallery' (a place or collection for displaying media). This noun-noun compound follows a common, cross-linguistic pattern for labeling collections or display spaces, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.

Etymology

Picture gallery was taken from the real gallery idea: people imagined their pictures hung like paintings on a wall, even on a screen. So a picture gallery now also means a collection of photos or images on a 'website' or 'app' that you can look through.
