Published by Statista Research Department, Aug 20, 2024

In 2023, the Louvre in Paris, France, was the most visited museum worldwide, reporting nearly 8.9 million visits. While attendance at the renowned institution increased sharply compared to the previous year, it did not fully recover yet from the impact of COVID-19. Meanwhile, the Vatican Museums in the Vatican City and the National Museum of China in Beijing followed in the ranking in 2023, each with roughly 6.8 million visits.
