actually if you call a gallery like the national gallery or the Gemäldegalerie in Berlin an "art museum", you are not wrong, but you loose one level of detail: a gallery as a kind of art museum only collects and exhibits paintings, while more generic art museums might collect anything related to art, like sculptures, video, paintings, prints, ... 2 problems with tourism=gallery: it is not clear, which kind of gallery is intended, and either way "tourism" is not a nice key for these (neither is it for museums).
