Disappointed that it’s the year 2025 and yet time machines still haven’t been invented? Museums are pretty much the next best thing! But far from being a mere collection of artifacts, they are immersive gateways into the rich tapestry of human experience. Visiting a museum connects us to history, allows us to appreciate artistic brilliance, and provides us with a deeper understanding of different cultures and civilizations. Here are the 12 most impressive museums from around the globe that you need to visit at least once in your life.
1. The Egyptian Museum (Cairo, Egypt)
Over 100,000 ancient artifacts can be found at Cairo’s Egyptian Museum, providing visitors with the most complete glimpse into the civilization of the pharaohs. With its gigantic statues, intricate jewelry pieces and, of course, hauntingly preserved mummies of kings, you’re sure to come away with memories that will last a lifetime. The biggest draw by far is Tutankhamun’s tomb, where you can see his glorious golden death mask up close and personal.
