1. preposition = to
object = art museum
prepositional phrase = to the art museum

2. preposition = from
object = past
prepositional phrase = from the different past

In the first sentence, "to" is the preposition. The prepositional phrase is "to the art museum." The object of the prepositiion is "museum."

In the second sentence, it is "from" and the object is "past" -- though the sentence itself is not grammatically correct, but I suspect "different" was actually "distant" in the original sentence. The prepositional phrase is "from the different past.".

Prepositions

The preposition and its object make up a prepositional phrase, which can be used to modify noun phrases and verb phrases in the same way as adjectives and adverbs, respectively. For example, in the sentence "He has a can of lemonade", the preposition is of, and its object is the noun lemonade. These combine to form the prepositional phrase of lemonade, which is used to modify the noun can, just like an adjective would. For a second example, in the sentence "The girl sat on the chair", the preposition is on and its object is the definite noun the chair. These combine to form the prepositional phrase on the chair, which modifies the verb sat, just like an adverb would.

Although the canonical object of a preposition is a noun phrase, there are cases in which another kind of phrase forms a preposition's object. For instance, in the sentence "Come out from under the bed", the object of the preposition from is another prepositional phrase, under the bed. Furthermore, according to some analyses, in the sentence "I opened the door before he walked in", before is not a conjunction but rather a preposition whose object is a full finite clause (he walked in).

In common speech, the object of a preposition may be implied. For instance, "Get in the car" may be shortened to "Get in." One school of thought believes that it is acceptable to treat prepositions as adjectives, nouns, or adverbs, in which case, the "in" in "Get in" acts as an adverb.

In some languages, including English, there exists a phenomenon known as preposition stranding, wherein a preposition may be separated from its object. In English, some people frown on this practice; see Disputed English grammar.

Stephen Fry once concocted a sentence that supposedly ends in eight consecutive prepositions. He proposed that a child whose mother brought him an unwanted book about Australia to read at bedtime might say, "Oh, Mother! What'd you bring that book I don't like to be read to out of about Down Under up for?" (In reality, however, "out of" is a single two-word preposition; "Down Under" is a noun phrase; and "up" is an adverb.)
