Museos is masculine because it derives from Latin "musaeum," which was itself borrowed from Greek "mouseion" (temple of the Muses), and Latin nouns ending in "-eum" were typically neuter, but when adopted into Spanish, this Latin neuter ending evolved into the masculine "-o" ending that characterizes most Spanish masculine nouns.
