Please see the attached image: https://ibb.co/HtQqxbT I'm wondering if this meets life safety requirements. Can the museum which has 82 occupants have an exit through the gift shop and does the gift shop count as one space with only 1 exit?
 
This is how I see it (red-lines are mine).

Two exists from the museum. One from the gift shop, one from the smaller room. Double door between the museum and the gift shop is a circulation pathway, not a means of egress. As long as there is no exit sign, all is well. More review required if there is, but not a deal breaker as there is actually 4 exits in the building.
