"A night at the museum"

Hello Strands fans! In particular, I would like to argue that museums and galleries are different things and that the two cannot be used interchangeably.

Or maybe I am just using it to justify the fact that I was pretty quick to find clues.

In any case, the clue revealed the answer MODERN. This is because the moment I saw the word, I deduced that CLASSICAL must be part of the mix, and sure enough, I found it hidden in the upper right corner of the grid.

I was curious about the "Q" in the second row, and now that I know the answer, I know it is part of BAROQUE. Now the path of the spangram is clear: ARTHISTORY, spelled from top to bottom.

The two remaining answers were on either side of the spangram: the ROMANTIC was on the left, and the MEDIEVAL was on the right to complete the puzzle.
