This is a list of the most-visited museums in the world, per annual attendance statistics. Many museums have not reported 2023 figures as of February 2024. These museums show their 2022 attendance.

Total museum attendance in 2023 continued to recover from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, although attendance for most museums remained lower than before 2020. Among the top 100 art museums in 2022, total attendance was 141 million visitors, double the number in 2021 and three times the number for 2020, but still well below the 2019 figure of 230 million visitors.[1]

Criteria

This list includes art museums, cultural museums, history museums, natural history museums, and science museums with an attendance of over 1,250,000 people in 2022, but does not include archaeological sites, historical monuments, or most palace museums. For example, the Forbidden City, Kremlin, and Palace of Versailles are not included, though the Louvre and Hermitage are included.

Due to differences in reporting across regions, there is some variation in the time periods for which figures are reported. Figures for North America and continental Europe are generally calendar-year figures, while most figures for Britain and the Asia-Pacific are fiscal year figures, from April through March.
