20 Worthy Art Museums
If you need a road map to begin your exploration of great world art, start here.
By Karin Beuerlein
If you're going to appreciate the world's finest art, there are more than a few museums you won't want to miss. But where on earth do you start?
Unfortunately, comparing the world's art museums is often like comparing apples to lawn furniture, let alone oranges. The sheer number of criteria makes a true top 20 list impossible. Are you looking for the most impressive permanent collection? The greatest architecture? The best Degas? The cleanest restrooms? The possibilities are endless.
Still, despite the challenges of narrowing such a broad and exciting selection to a few key picks, we're happy to get you started with 20 museum recommendations. Here are some great art shrines that won't disappoint: 10 must-see museums that are famous lions of the art world (whose collections typically take days to peruse), and 10 smaller, quirkier, or less well-known jewels you may not have considered before.
