That's why in De Salas We wanted to know which are the cities that, among their wonderful offer, have the greatest number of museums according World Cities Culture Forum. And art and exhibitions never hurt and we love them.
The National Gallery, the Tate Modern, the Science Museum... with more than 200 museums, London tops the list of places with the most museums of the world. In addition to the mentioned National Gallery, the best known is probably the British Museum, which houses more than eight million objects from Eastern, Egyptian, Greek, Etruscan, Roman, Chinese, European cultures and the Rosetta Stone. Almost nothing.
On the other side of the Atlantic, Mexico City awaits us, which in recent times has positioned itself as the second city with the most museums of all the world. It is not in vain that we are talking about 170 museums and 43 galleries, with the National Museum of History, the Chapultepec Castle, the Museum of Anthropology and the Templo Mayor Museum among others.
