Morphology
The meaning of 'art gallery' is transparently composed from 'art' (works of art) + 'gallery' (a space for exhibiting works); the phrase denotes a place where artworks are displayed and often sold. This compositional pattern is cross-linguistically common and follows standard noun + noun compound semantics, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
Art gallery may come from a time when the word gallery meant a 'long covered room' in big houses where people walked and looked at pictures, so the room itself became linked with showing art. That's why today an art gallery is a place to show and often sell art, where people go to see works.
