Most visited museums in the world — the full ranked list
The complete ranking of most visited museums in the world, in order, with what the ranking counts and how firm the figures behind it are. Free reference, no sign-up — and the guessing game that plays the same list.
Annual visitor numbers. Free entry moves a museum up this list more reliably than its collection does, which is why London and Washington are so heavily represented and why several of the world's greatest collections are not near the top.
The figures behind this ranking move over time, so the order is right for now rather than fixed.
