Etymology
Romanian took "muzeu" from French "musée" in the nineteenth century, as part of a broader wave of French borrowings during the modernization of Romanian vocabulary. French "musée" goes back to Latin "musaeum", which in turn comes from Greek "mouseion", meaning a place sacred to the Muses. The Greek word already carried the sense of a place for study and the arts before it settled into the modern meaning of a building that houses collections.
