Here’s What TripAdvisor’s 10 Best Museums in the World Look Like From the Outside
New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art takes the top spot in TripAdvisor’s annual Travelers’ Choice Awards of the 10 best museums in the world. See how many you can recognise from its facade.
Trip Advisor has just released its latest top 10 list of best museums in the world, which is calculated using an algorithm that takes into account the “quantity and quality of reviews as well as ratings for museums worldwide, gathered over a 12-month period.” According to the 2017 edition of the awards, visits to the Met come with the highest rates of visitor satisfaction, with a five out of five bubble rating among its more than 44,600 reviews. The Met’s latest exhibition is its highly-anticipated “Rodin at the Met,” a collection of 50 marbles, bronzes, plasters and terracottas by the French sculptor Auguste Rodin, including his most iconic piece, “The Thinker.”
