difference between that and which

Hi Kiran,

Many thanks for your interesting questin. That refers to specific, definite (often distinctively located) things as in the sentence above. So, the word that is a demonstrative pronoun.
Which is never a demonstrative and does not relete to specific things.

Hi,

In this sentence you would use 'that' because it is after a superlative -the best museum
