在英文中,「區」有很多相同的單詞。“district”表達一個被某人管理的地方,就是說,一般來說district有政治或者法律的含義。 譬如「地區」,「城區」= city district, 我們不說“city area” 對於博物館裡面的分區,area更適合。也有很多說法, 在美國也有叫“hall” (堂), "section” (區?)的 。要看誰取名、還有房屋的特色。 District usually has an "administrative" implication, a district is something which is regulated in a certain way, the district is defined by the one who controls that area (e.g. the civil government). In USA, we have "police districts", never "police areas". But you'd never have a "district" of a museum, it sounds too "administrative", like a government set it up. rather, you'd see "wing", "hall", "area", "section", "building", etc.

Area is correct in this case.
