Explanation:
En fait, ma réponse est presque une question : Ne s'agirait-il pas tout bonnement de ce que nous appelons les sections/galeries/départements, etc. d'Arts et Traditions populaires dans nos propres musées ?
En tout cas, le "bas peuple" : non et non !

Gallerie de la Vie Cotidienne Populaire


Explanation:
je crois qu'il s'agit de la vie du peuple bas. De ces qui se trouvent au plus bas de l'echelle sociale.

Gallerie Inferieure de la Vie Populaire


Explanation:
I would go back to the context to see if "lower" doesn't refer to the position of the gallery in museum (in which case we should have also an "upper" one ?). Otherwise "folklife" is self-qualified. There is no "basse vie populaire" ou "haute vie populaire". Good luck.

(Gallerie )Vie populaire du bas peuple


Explanation:
la vie populaire implique Lower folklife, Pour Lower alors populaire est ce qu'il y a de plus bas dans la société Française. Mais si vous voulez insister sur Lower car la société qui est représntée a peut-être plusieurs niveaux de cultures populaire à différents niveaux sociaux.Alors j'opeterai pour la modulation grammaticale "vie populaire du bas peuple".
NB Vie populaire = folklife
et non Vie et culture du bas peuple.

neutral  Steven Geller: Si on considère que la maison en question fut construite par un tycoon de Liverpool, je pense que l'on ne peut conclure que "lower" doit s'agit d"une galérie intérieure.

  -> Thankyou, your hypothesis is as good as mine as to the meanig of Lower, however the asker chose an answer that left the word completely out .Futhermore there isn't any certitude given the context that Lower relates to the gallery !
