First of all, before I explain what you should do to the article to make it fit Wikipedia's guidelines, I have to mention that you need third-party sources. Unless you have sources from reliable third-party sources, it's unlikely that your submission will be accepted. If you haven't already read it, read more about identifying reliable sources at Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources.

As far as fitting this article for Wikipedia's guidelines, you want to make the article so that it reads like an article you'd read about it in an encyclopedia. If you take a look at the Museum of Modern Art article, for example, it reads like an encyclopedia article. To me, your article read more like an advertisement for the museum rather than an encyclopedia article.

Other improvement suggestions I have are:

  • Talking more about the history of the museum if you can.
  • Providing examples of some of the artworks.
  • Providing pictures of the museum.

Also, if you look at the Highland Museum of Childhood article, there's a tag that explains that the article may be written like an advertisement. You should base this article on the Museum of Modern Art one I linked to as well as other museum articles instead of the Highland Museum of Childhood article.
