Museums allow people all over the globe to explore culture, art, history, science and more unusual interests. Some cities are unsurprisingly home to more museums than others. As of May 2019, Paris was crowned the museum capital of the world, accounting for 297 museums. Following hot on the French capital's heels was Moscow with 261 museums.
