Navigating a Museum

You're visiting a museum and ask where a specific exhibit is.

Hola, ¿dónde está la exposición de arte prehispánico?
OH-lah, DOHN-deh ehs-TAH lah ehks-poh-see-see-OHN deh AR-teh preh-ees-PAH-nee-koh?
Hi, where is the pre-Hispanic art exhibit?
'La exposición' means 'the exhibit' or 'the exhibition.' Many museums in Latin America feature pre-Hispanic and colonial art collections.

'La sala' means 'the room' or 'gallery' in a museum context. 'El segundo piso' is 'the second floor.'

Camine al final del pasillo y las escaleras están a la derecha, junto a la entrada de la sala principal.

Walk to the end of the hallway and the stairs are on the right, next to the entrance of the main room.
'Al final del pasillo' means 'at the end of the hallway' — a very useful phrase for navigating any building.

'Muy amable' literally means 'very kind' and is a warm, polite way to thank someone for their help.
