Hi Aishwarya, I wish I had an answer for this as it seems to keep popping up: https://leeduser.buildinggreen.com/forum/parking-capacity-museum-project I think, as this other post suggests, you should reach out to GBCI for an interpretation here or an equivalent value you can use. Does your local jurisdiction define museums in their parking criteria? Maybe GBCI will accept this value. If you get an answer from them, make sure to respond back here so myself and other people can learn too!

Last I heard USGBC was working on some more guidance for different use types, but in the meantime the only real guidance is to choose the most appropriate use / combination of uses from the tables and provide a narrative stating that it was the closest available. "Other public assembly" might work well for a museum, or even convention center.
