The question has been asked already, see http://commons.fluenz.com/spanish/pos... it's a grey area, and está would work as well, you will hear both in that case.
No sé dónde es el museo
Hello,
Just curious as to why the following sentence uses "ser" instead of "estár": No sé dónde es el museo
We're talking about location now, aren't we?

In this case, ser is used when the verb is followed by a noun

Yes, this was covered in an early session but Sonia said 'when in doubt, use estar' so your answer should have been accepted. In the upgrade there are instances where more than 1 answer will be accepted. I guess in this case it is about location, but that museum is not likely to move anytime soon, then again, it could move next week. So in that regard it is a gray area and está would be just as correct as es.
