Dear Teachers,

- What museum do you watch art photos exhibit at?
- At Johnson's museum.
- Are these ok to say?

Thanks so much!

This can be ok. However, since exhibit can be both a noun or a verb, it would probably be better to use exhibition - it is only used as a noun.
And you should make it plural - exhibitions. If you are speaking of a specific musuem, it should be capitalized.
"Watch" is not the best choice here. You watch a film or TV. You watch your children play.

Examples:
What museum do you go to to see (look at) art photos exhibitions?
What museum do you go to to see an exhibition of art photos?
Also, your question can have two separate meanings:
-what museum do you go to? (specific)
-what museum does one go to? (general)
"you" can mean either of these
