Your guide for any museum visit
Musée d'Orsay
The world's finest impressionist collection, inside a railway station that was nearly demolished. Three hours is not enough.
The Metropolitan Museum
5,000 years of art under one roof. The Egyptian Temple of Dendur alone is worth the suggested admission.
Rijksmuseum
Rembrandt lived across the street. The Night Watch fills an entire room. Not because it fits, but because it insists.
The Louvre
The largest art museum in the world. The Mona Lisa is smaller than you expect. Everything else is bigger.
Tate Modern
A former power station on the Thames, now the world's most-visited modern art museum. Free to enter.
Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum
A Venetian palace in Boston. The empty frames still hang where 13 stolen masterworks used to be — the greatest unsolved art heist in history.
