Interesting. How is "gallery" (the concept, word, or both) Anglophonic?

I thought "gallery," historically, referred to any kind of porch or
open area, and, since art would typically be displayed in such an area
...

(Etymologically it comes from Old French via the Italian galleria
'gallery,' which at one time also meant simply 'church porch,' from
medieval Latin galeria, which some say is an alteration of galilea
(like Galilee). Hm.)

Also, I don't know anything about the history of the museum/gallery,
and if any Netbehaviourists could refer me to any decent
histories/historians here, I'd appreciate it!

Thanks,
Vijay
