List of most-visited art museums

See also: List of most-visited museums and List of most-visited museums by region

A primary source for 2024 figures is the Art Newspaper, [1], whose most recent annual survey was published in March 2025. Other major sources included the newsroom of the Smithsonian Institution, the French Ministry of Culture, and the Association of Leading Visitor Attractions in the United Kingdom.

Visitor numbers for museums in mainland China are traditionally released by the government in May each year, after the publication of The Art Newspaper list.
