Thanks for the feedback! The feeling I was trying to get across was a child asking their parent why - how would that best be translated?
Probably
- А почему мы не можем |сходить сегодня в музей? /..... сходить в музей прямо сегодня?
//
- А почему мы не сможем пойти в музей сегодня?
It sounds like I'm going for the second one, but that's the closest one to my original sentence. =)
The (2) implies that you (already) refused to go, and the child got upset -- 'But why (exactly)... ?'
