12 Best Museums Around the World To Visit in 2025 (5 of 7)

8. The Louvre (Paris, France)

The Louvre, the world’s most visited museum, attracts nearly 10 million tourists annually, which is five times the population of Paris itself, and is renowned for both its architecture and art collection. The Mona Lisa is what immediately pops into our minds when we think of the Louvre, but the museum contains vast halls of art from nearly every civilization and era. Expect to spend an entire day there if you want to appreciate all it has to offer. 

9. The Vasa Museum (Stockholm, Sweden)

In 1628, the Swedish warship Vasa sank minutes into its maiden voyage. Bad news for anybody onboard, but pretty amazing for those of us 400 years later who dream of visiting a well-preserved 17th century ship. The ship and its surrounding displays educate visitors on Sweden’s naval history and shipbuilding, and provide a fascinating glimpse into what life was like in the 1600s.
