Looking at this stuff with a Venice trip looming, I've been on this list to St Petersburg Hermitage, and Amsterdam Rijksmuseum, and probably British Museum and the Louvre when young (but don't remember much)

not on that list also the Egyptian museum in Cairo, and the Vatican was closed when we decided to try and visit..

Has anyone done all of them?

Eight out of ten for me - haven't been to the Vatican or the Hermitage.
But that's a weird list. What's often cited as the best museum in Europe - the National Gallery - isn't in it! And the Smithsonian shouldn't be Number One particularly when the article cites these as the main attractions: "Dorothy’s ruby red slippers, the dresses of the First Ladies". I mean, come on, have some dignity and class please America!

How has the Greenwich Fan Museum not made that list?! How can anyone make a realistic claim to be culturally sophisticated without knowing about fans?!

6/10 - three of them at least twice.

Not surprised the Egyptian Museum isn't on that list as it is probably the most disorganised Museum I've ever been to, with the exception of the Kink Tut room. There was more dust in the museum than at the pyramids.

Managed to vissit a month before the uprising - so hopefully everything remained in place.

Just 6 from that list.

Louvre
British Museum
Prado
Moma, NY
Vatican
Rijks

The kind of list compiled by American journalists for American tourists.

Been to plenty more terrific galleries and museums not on that list.

To be fair, when you only have 200 years of history and most of that history consists of white people murdering, enslaving or otherwise abusing the basic human rights of non-whites, they have to fill it with some pap.

5/10 otherwise. There's only one on there I've missed and actually been to the city it's based in though (Amsterdam).

Just the one.............. Louvre. Surprised Imperial War Museum wasn't in there.....could have had 2 then!
