Perché è masculine?

Musées is masculine. While it does derive from Latin "museum" (borrowed from Greek "mouseion"), the gender assignment in French is better explained by the French suffix "-ée" (from Latin "-ata"). However, "musée" is actually an exception: most French nouns ending in "-ée" are feminine (e.g., "journée", "année"), but "musée" is masculine. This irregularity is due to its Latin neuter ending "-eum" (later masculine in Latin) being reanalyzed in French, where it became associated with the masculine "é" ending found in past participles and some masculine nouns.
