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, ...
I believe the German word "Galerie" is a short form for Gemäldegalerie
which is a place where paintings are on display.
However, the English word "Gallery" doesn't seem to have this specific
meaning. Mirriam-Webster includes "sculptures, etc"

Picking nits;
Mirriam-Webster is American English.
OSM policy is to use British English ... so the Oxford Dictionary should be
used.
2 problems with tourism=gallery: it is not clear, which kind of gallery
is intended,
Many many key/values are not precise in what is intended. That is why 'sub
keys' are used.
'Sub keys' like width, height add detail. If you think a gallery needs more
detail, add sub keys to it!
and either way "tourism" is not a nice key for these
(neither is it for museums).
A 'nice key'?
Tourism? Visiting a place for pleasure? Looks to be the correct key to me!
What would be a proper way to tag this?
amenity=museum
museum=art
?
No. OSM amenity - important facilities.
Tourism is the correct key in this instance, a place that provides visual
pleasure.
