a tiny museum where forgotten cans outlive empires and good intentions go to expire

means A small room or closet for storing food, dishes, and kitchen supplies.

from From Old French paneterie, 'a place for bread,' built on Latin panis, 'bread' — a cousin of words like 'companion,' literally 'one you share bread with.' So a pantry began as the bread-keeper's domain, only later swelling to hold every can, jar, and jar of regret you now own.
