(Redirected from List of most visited art museums in the world)

See also: List of most-visited museums and List of most-visited museums by region

In 2023, total attendance in the most-visited art museums returned largely to the level of 2019, for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic began.[1]

The 100 most popular art museums in the world in 2022, divided by countries and continents.

A primary source for 2023 figures is the Art Newspaper, [1], whose most recent annual survey was published in March 2024. Other major sources included the newsroom of the Smithsonian Institution, the French Ministry of Culture, and the Association of Leading Visitor Attractions in the United Kingdom.

Visitor numbers for museums in mainland China are traditionally released by the government in May each year, several months after the publication of The Art Newspaper's list. Museums in China included on the 2021 list are noted at the bottom of this list with the prior year's statistics and will be incorporated into the main listings when 2022 statistics are released.[2]
