The Art Newspaper has published its yearly map of the world's most popular museums. The top ten museums are led by the Louvre, followed by the Vatican Museums, the National Museum of Korea in Seoul, the British Museum in London, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the State Russian Museum in St. Petersburg (the Hermitage is ranked eleventh), the Museo Nacional de Antropología in Mexico City, and Shanghai Museum East. The list is completed by two London museums: Tate Modern and the National Gallery. In Italy, the Vatican Museums (second overall in the Top 100) drew nearly 7 million visitors, confirming their status as one of the world's most visited institutions, while the Uffizi Galleries, with over 5 million admissions spread across its three Florentine museums, solidified their central role in the national museum system. The Gallerie dell'Accademia in Florence (2.28 million admissions), the Egyptian Museum in Turin (1.27 million), and the Capitoline Museums in Rome (860,000) all gained high rankings among the world's top 100.
