List of most-visited art museums


The primary source for 2024 figures is The Art Newspaper, whose most recent annual survey was published in April 2025. Other 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, after the publication of The Art Newspaper list.
