This is a list of the most-visited museums in the world in 2023 by annual attendance statistics. Total attendance at the top sixty museums in 2023, as reported by the annual TEA-AECOM Museum survey, reached 94 percent of 2019 levels, before the COVID-19 pandemic.
This list includes art museums, cultural museums, history museums, natural history museums, and science museums with an attendance of over 1,250,000 people in 2022, but does not include archaeological sites, historical monuments, or most palace museums. For example, the Forbidden City, Kremlin, and Palace of Versailles are not included, though the Louvre and Hermitage are included.
Due to differences in reporting across regions, there is some variation in the time periods for which figures are reported. Figures for North America and continental Europe are generally calendar-year figures, while most figures for Britain and the Asia-Pacific are fiscal year figures, from April through March.
