museo

/muˈseo/ · B1 · noun · m

museum

museo — museum

🏛️🖼️ Etymology: from Greek mouseion, a temple of the Muses, the arts goddesses

Same root as English museum and music: both come from the Muses. Spanish drops the -um and ends in -o, so museo is masculine: el museo. Stress falls on the SE: mu-SE-o.
