About ambiguity of this sentence..
Hi!
I am studying syntax of Enlgish.
Now, I am confused with a problem.. but I don't have any intuition of natives', so I want to ask whether " the people see the culpture from the museum" can have two meanings.
That is, the first interpetation is that they see the culpture which is from the museum.
Second is that from the museum, they can see the culpture.
In Korea, many people say that the second one is weired, but I can not agree with it.
Please help me..
thanks!

"intuition of natives" or "natives' intuition.
I think you mean sculpture for a three-dimensional artwork.
Both interpretations are possible. The first uses "from" in the sense of association from an object's origin; the second uses "from" in the sense of a place of observation. The context will tell you which is which. Neither is weird.
