The Use of 'Qué' in a Declarative Sentence

The Use of 'Qué' in a Declarative Sentence

In the sentence, "The museum is an example of what talent and faith can achieve," would the 'what' be translated into "qué" or "que"?

My guess would be "El museo es un ejemplo de qué pueden lograr el talento y la fe."

I want to use "qué" because using "que" would make it sound like a conjunction or interjection, which in my opinion would make it incorrect.

But I am unsure.

This "what" is translated as "lo que" in Spanish--meaning, "that which."

"El museo es un ejemplo de lo que pueden lograr el talento y la fe."

Could you please go back to your profile and indicate your levels of Spanish and English?

Thanks

Here's another use of "lo que."
