Ranking the Top Museums

Musegik

The top museums in the UK are voted by readers of a leading British newspaper into the country's top museums for a number of reasons. These include the quality of the collections, the value of the collections and reputation of the museum as a whole. In addition to the standard factors, such as affordability and accessibility, many of the higher ranking museums in the UK also receive special recognition, as determined by readers of the newspapers. The most famous museums in the United Kingdom that feature in the surveys conducted by the British museum rating organization are the Natural History Museum in London, the National Gallery in Cardiff, the National Portrait Gallery in London, and the National Paintings Museum in London. The latter two have garnered awards from the British museum osconderorate and have received millions of visitors over the years.

Other top museums in the UK, which has enjoyed steady growth over the past several decades, are the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the National Gallery in South Kensington, and the National Motor Museum at Bath. Other museums in the United Kingdom that feature frequently in the surveys conducted by the British museum rating organization include the National Army Museum, the National Maritime Museum, the National Museum of Scotland Yard, the National Museum of Ireland, and the National Gallery in London. Other notable museums in the United Kingdom that feature frequently in the surveys are the National Air Force Museum, the National Army Museums Association, the National Maritime Museum, the National Police Museum, the Natural History Museum, and the National Museum of Wales. The universities in the United Kingdom that house the top museums are the University of Bristol, the University of Cambridge, the University of Birmingham, the University of Bristol School of Archaeology, Durham University, the University of East Anglia, the University of Glasgow, King's College London, Manchester Metropolitan University, the University of Nottingham, the University of Oxford, the University of Royal College of Psychiatrists, University of Rugby, University of Warwick, and University of York.

Museums around the world receive varying degrees of criticism from a variety of sources. Criticisms can come from those who are unaware of the content or perhaps are unfamiliar with the subject matter; others may criticize the lack of recent visitors to the museum, or perhaps the lack of visitors to the museum itself. Other critics point out the inherent contradictions of beauty such as man made beauty, natural beauty, or the beauty of cultural expression. In order to help people see these flaws in the top museums, ratings are given to the most famous museums in the world.

In order to evaluate the most famous art museums in the world, one must first look at the definitions of art. Art is defined by the Universal Library of the United States as "a visual representation of reality based on an imaginative thought and an acute understanding of the self". By comparing different artwork around the world, one can better understand the culture and beliefs of other cultures. One can also gain a deeper appreciation for the different forms of art throughout the ages. A good example is the Mona Lisa, which was originally found in Italy.

Man is credited for discovering fire. Through experimentation, man has created several different types of fire, from flames in a cave, to a fire in the museum, and even a fire in one's home. The discovery of fire provides humankind with a deeper understanding of ourselves. Thus, when visiting the Louvre in Paris, one must take into account the influence of man's discovery of fire. A museum devoted to the art of man, like the Smithsonian, should be rated highly in order to fully appreciate the impact that man has had on the world.

The Natural History Museum in New York, commonly known as the museum of Natural History, is rated highly by many visitors. The reason for this is that the museum educates about the ecosystem. Visitors are exposed to an array of animals, including mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and plants, through exhibits. The museum is even home to the largest collection of fossilized animal remains in the world. One must consider the importance of this discovery when judging whether or not the Natural History Museum should be rated highly. The reason is that the impact that humans have made on the environment is astounding.

Another highly rated museum is the Louvre in Paris. The reason is that Paris is home to a wealth of culture, ranging from architecture to music to works of art, which makes the city a cultural gem. In addition to the visual beauty of the artwork that is found within the museum, the Parisian experience is also rated highly due to the quality of life that can be found there.

There are many other highly rated museums throughout the world. If one only has time to research them, they will find scores of options. However, it is important to rate the top museums based upon their own personal preferences. What may rank highly for one person may not necessarily rank highly for another. As long as the visitor is entertained and informed, then the museum is more than worth the trip.
