List of most-visited art museums

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The primary source for 2022 figures is The Art Newspaper "Visitors Survey 2022", published in March 2023 and updated periodically, as well as annual national museum surveys in France, the UK, and other countries.

Total attendance in the top one hundred art museums in 2022 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]

Visitorship 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]
