Each year, millions of tourists take in beautiful art and artifacts at these top-ranked attractions in London, New York, Paris and Washington, DC. It’s no surprise that the Louvre has yet again claimed the title of the world’s most-visited museum—it’s only the home of the world’s most popular woman: Mona Lisa. This article lists the most visited art museums in the world. Several major art museums, such as the Palace Museum in Beijing, which annually draw close to 12 million visitors, the Vatican Museums of Rome, with 5,078,004 visitors in 2011, and the National Museum of Anthropology of Mexico City, with 1,767,092 visitors in 2011, were not included.
