You can activate your gallery from admin panel=>Modules=>gallery=>Configuration and look for this option "Show the gallery" and choose yes.

The limit is not given by the number of pictures but by the size of the pictures. The maximum size(default) is 10MB. You can extend this limit if you buy points and then use them to extend the capacity of the gallery. To buy points go to admin panel=>Misc=>Points management=>Configuration and click the "Buy points" button to see more info. You can also check how many points you need to extend your gallery or to extend it if you have already bought the points by clicking the "Modify" button next to this option "You dispose of 10 Mb of storage for your gallery".
