Questions & Answers about El museo está abierto desde las diez hasta las seis.

Why do we use está instead of es with abierto?
We use está from estar because being open is a temporary state or condition of the museum, not a permanent characteristic. The verb estar is generally used for physical states that can change, like a building being open or closed.
Why is the word las included before the numbers diez and seis?
In Spanish, when you talk about time on the clock, you always use the feminine article la or las. This is because it refers to the hidden feminine word hora for hour or horas for hours. Since ten and six are plural, we use las.
Could I just say de diez a seis instead of desde las diez hasta las seis?
Yes, you can! Both phrases are perfectly natural. Using desde and hasta puts a little more emphasis on the exact starting and ending points of the time period. Notice that if you use the shorter de and a, you usually drop the word las before the numbers.
