Museum is a common noun unless it is about a specific museum. Proper nouns are the unique names of people, places, or things. Common nouns are words for general things. Pronouns replace proper and common nouns.

The noun 'museum' is a common noun; a general word for a building in which interesting and valuable things are collected, conserved, and shown to the public; a general word for any museum of any kind.

A proper noun is the name or title of a specific person, place, or thing. A proper noun for the common noun 'museum' is The Museum of Modern Art in New York City or Museum of the Western Prairie in Altus, OK.
