× Art Museum helps preserving art pieces so that the public can see umm, different art pieces from different places.
✓ Art Museum helps preserve art pieces so that the public can see umm, different art pieces from different places.
The verb 'help' is followed by the base form of the verb, not the '-ing' form. Therefore, 'helps preserving' should be corrected to 'helps preserve'. This is a common error where the gerund form is mistakenly used after 'help'.
× I visit museum when I'm free.
✓ I visit museums when I'm free.
The noun 'museum' should be plural 'museums' because the sentence implies visiting museums in general, not a single museum. Using the plural form is appropriate here to indicate multiple visits or museums.
× The most recent museum that I visited was and Plus which is an Art Museum located in the Kowloon.
✓ The most recent museum that I visited was And Plus, which is an art museum located in Kowloon.
The name 'And Plus' should be capitalized properly and preceded by 'was' without 'and'. Also, 'an Art Museum' should be 'an art museum' (lowercase 'art museum' as it's a common noun). 'The Kowloon' is incorrect; 'Kowloon' does not require the definite article 'the'.
× I visited one of the art museums in Hong Kong and plus last Saturday.
✓ I visited one of the art museums in Hong Kong, And Plus, last Saturday.
The name 'And Plus' should be capitalized and set off by commas as it is a proper noun. Also, 'and plus' as written is incorrect; it should be 'And Plus'.
× The ticket was quite expensive and it was very crowded, but I really enjoyed hanging around in the museum because there are lots of art pieces that I can see.
✓ The ticket was quite expensive and it was very crowded, but I really enjoyed hanging around in the museum because there were lots of art pieces that I could see.
Since the visit happened in the past, the verb tense should be past tense. 'There are' should be 'there were' and 'I can see' should be 'I could see' to maintain past tense consistency.
