I agree that it's not incorrect, but "often we go to the museum," sounds a little unnaturally in my opinion. Maybe it needs a comma if used as an opening clause. "Often, we go to the museum." Even then, it sounds like an incomplete thought, like a reason or circumstance must follow why or when we go to the museum. It's just how it sounds to me personally

It's possible, but for me it only really works after something else - "On Saturdays we go to the park, and often we go to the museum there". But as a standalone sentence it sounds a bit strange to me.

I completely agree with you @ChlebBoi and I think the other responders are a little misguided.
My understanding of this sentence doesn't imply one museum but museums in general. I think I'd compare it to going to the theater or the cinema, which at least in Polish don't suggest going to the same one over and over...
By the way, I started typing "do you often go to..." in the search bar and the first two results were "the cinema" and "the theater", so do those imply going every time to the same... building?

The usual meaning of "are going" is that it is happening right now. But often refers to something that is repeated multiple times. These two ideas conflict with each other. There would be very limited situations where you sentence would be correct but they're probably too obscure to be counted as correct here.

I tend to place often between the verb and the prepositional phrase..which i did here: We go often to the museum". Duo didnt like it. I thought maybe since czesto was the first word of the sentence, it was to be emphasized.
