@Penelope It's probably the new Karaoke Venue the OP mentioned. I zoomed in and it looks like there's a microphone in the star. The lounge has a microphone but not the star.
If the palette is an Art Gallery, there would be significant difference between it and the museum?
But I can't wait for the Kareoke bar!

The microphone is the Lounge icon. It's been there since base game.
The icon with the microphone also has a star, it's not the same icon.
No, the icon in the middle is the microphone. The star looks like just a star.
How can you even tell what's in the star? It's a picture for ants.
By enlarging the picture with control +. That's a new karokee bar. The star has a microphone in the middle of it. The new world is coming with 2 of them.

The problem is, which picture would it replace? The wall decal you put up to show where the toilets were?
Yesterday they only showed the Apartments... I'm sure they will do another livestream with more game play. Would be logic, considering that the game will release in about one month. I, at least, can't tell the difference between the "star" and the "microphone" xD Are both karaoke bars? I don't know, but I'm sure they will explain that in a future livestream. They also have to demonstrate cultural festivals.
Oh, so there is! I've been using the 'museum' lot as an art gallery. I wonder if that will work much differently?
Well, if it is a gallery, that'll be handy for me because I use the artist features a lot and there's a bit of an artist's network in my game. And this frees up the museum in Willow Creek which I think I'll turn into more of a natural or local history museum.
Thanks for pointing it out, I hope we hear more about it soon.

Is that an official quote? Do you have a link please?

Maybe there is a way to designate "viewable" art using the Lot Info panel (there are UI changes coming to that). Hopefully, they also add a way to "Set for sale" from build mode for GTW owners.
Saying that, I wonder if art in galleries is buyable by lot visitors? It'd be great if our artists work ends up in other homes that way.
The 20% chance is maybe related to quality level. Like Masterpieces have the option to "sell to gallery (or museum?)" on them when selling from the easel.

Oh man, I love all these pointless new lot types. We already had Bar, Lounge and Nightclub, and now we get "Karaoke Bar"? We can put karaoke machines in other bars. Why do they need their own special lot type?
And why do we need an Art Gallery when we already have Museums? What possible new gameplay can these lots offer that we can't get on the existing lots?
The Art Gallery could have a connection with the Art Critic career, not necessarily as the setting for an active career but as a place he or she has to visit regularly to get promoted.
Someone suggested that patrons in a karaoke bar would be more likely to listen and react to singers than people in a regular bar, so I can see the point of having them. But I've never understood why a lounge was necessary. I'll probably remove the one that comes with the game and put a restaurant or penthouse there and also remove the gym.

I was wondering that as well. My Sims hardly ever visit the museum. I hope the Art Gallery offers more incentive to visit.

It used to be like that in TS3.
