List of Top 10 Museums in the World

01. LE LOUVRE, PARIS, FRANCE

A visit to the Louvre and its treasures allows visitors to learn about Western art from the Middle Ages to 1848, as well as many ancient cultures. It also provides another history to investigate. The enormous palace that houses the museum, which dates from the late twelfth century, is a true architectural lesson: from 1200 to 2011, the most imaginative architects built and renovated the Louvre. This royal mansion, which was also home to French heads of state until 1870, was long the center of power and is one of the key backgrounds to the history of Paris and France.

02. THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART, NEW YORK, USA

The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, informally known as “the Met,” is the country’s largest art museum. The Met Fifth Avenue and The Met Cloisters are two prominent New York City locations where visitors may view and enjoy over 5,000 years of art from throughout the world. Since its inception in 1870, The Met has aimed to be more than just a repository of rare and beautiful items. Every day, art comes to life in the galleries and through exhibitions and events at the museum, exposing new ideas and unexpected connections across time and cultures.

03. THE BRITISH MUSEUM, LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM

The British Museum in London was founded in 1753 and first opened its doors in 1759. It was the first national museum to span all aspects of human knowledge, and it was open to visitors from all over the world. No other museum is in charge of collections of the same depth and range, beauty and relevance. Its eight million objects allow us to study the astonishing range of human cultures, from small settlements to large empires, to discover the numerous forms and expressions human beings have given to every element of existence, and to comprehend how closely they are intertwined.

04. THE UFFIZI GALLERIES, FLORENCE, ITALY

The Uffizi Galleries in Florence occupy the first and second floors of a huge edifice planned by Giorgio Vasari and built between 1560 and 1580. It is well-known for its exceptional collections of antique sculptures and paintings (from the Middle Ages to the Modern Period). Some great masterpieces can be found in the collections of paintings from the 14th and Renaissance periods. Furthermore, the Gallery houses an invaluable collection of ancient Medici family statues and busts that ornament the corridors and comprise ancient Roman reproductions of vanished Greek sculptures.

05. THE STATE HERMITAGE MUSEUM, ST PETERSBURG, RUSSIA

The State Hermitage Museum, the world’s second-largest art museum, was formed in 1764 when Empress Catherine the Great purchased an amazing collection of masterpieces from Berlin merchant Johann Ernst Gotzkowsky. The museum now houses nearly 3 million items of art and cultural artifacts from around the world. There are paintings, graphic works, sculptures, works of applied art, archaeological artifacts, and numismatic pieces in the collection. The collections are housed in a huge complex of six historic buildings along Palace Embankment, including the Winter Palace, a former Russian emperor’s palace.

06. THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, WASHINGTON DC, USA

With 19 museums and the National Zoo, the Smithsonian Institution is the world’s biggest museum, education, and research complex. The Smithsonian Institution was established in 1846 with monies donated by Englishman James Smithson (1765-1829) in accordance with his wishes “under the name of the Smithsonian Institution, an establishment for the increase and diffusion of knowledge.”  There is so much to see that if you spent one minute per day and night gazing at each thing on display, you would only view 10% of the entire site in ten years. As a result, it’s best to concentrate on only one or two exhibits at two or three separate museums.

07. THE VATICAN MUSEUMS, VATICAN CITY, ITALY

While the Roman Catholic Church’s administrative body and its head, the pope, are located in Vatican City, this small independent city-state within Rome offers a richness of cultural attractions open to visitors of all faiths. A trip to the Vatican City would be incomplete without a stop at the world-renowned Vatican Museums. They exhibit works from the vast collection gathered by the Catholic Church and the papacy throughout the ages, including several of the world’s most recognized Roman sculptures and most important Renaissance masterpieces.

08. THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART (MOMA), NEW YORK, USA

The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), founded in 1929 as an educational institution, is dedicated to being the world’s foremost museum of modern art. The museum demonstrates this dedication through creating, preserving, and documenting a world-class collection that represents the vibrancy, complexity, and evolving patterns of contemporary art. MoMA’s collection has evolved from an initial gift of eight prints and one drawing to include 150,000 paintings, sculptures, and design objects, as well as 22,000 films, videos, media works, film stills, screenplays, and historical documents.

09. THE PRADO, MADRID, SPAIN

Juan de Villanueva created the building that now houses the Museo Nacional del Prado in 1785. It was built on King Charles III orders to house the Natural History Cabinet. The final function of the building, as the new Royal Museum of Paintings and Sculptures, was decided by the monarch’s grandson, King Ferdinand VII, who was urged by his wife, Queen Maria Isabel de Braganza. The Prado, which first opened its doors to the public in 1819, is now one of the most popular destinations in the art world, with 3 million annual visitors and an online presence that reaches 10 million visitors.

10. THE RIJKSMUSEUM, AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS

The Rijksmuseum, located in the middle of Amsterdam’s Museum Square, is one of the world’s most recognized art institutions. The museum first opened its doors under the name ‘Nationale Kunstgalerij’ in 1800. It was originally housed in Huis ten Bosch in The Hague, but in 1808, the museum relocated to Amsterdam, the new capital city. The museum has 8,000 art and historical pieces on display from their entire collection of 1 million objects dating from 1200-2000. Even if you only have a few minutes, a stroll around the Gallery of Honor will provide you with a view of some of the finest Dutch art.
