The Louvre is world’s most visited museum
The Louvre in Paris was the world’s most popular museum last year with a record 8.8 million visitors to the home of Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa.
The museum said it enjoyed “a strong return of American visits and a more and more marked presence of visitors from emerging countries.”
Overseas visitors accounted for 66 per cent of the museum’s attendees, led by tourists from the United States, followed by Brazil, Italy, Australia and China.
According to a survey by London-based The Art Newspaper, the second most-visited museum was the British Museum, with 5.8 million visitors, followed by New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art with 5.2 million.
