Looking at the higher tier, the Louvre recorded the highest figure, with nearly 9 million visitors in 2011. The Metropolitan Museum in the USA followed as the second most visited gallery, reaching exactly 6 million people. This was slightly higher than the British Museum in the UK, which received around 5.8 million visitors.
In contrast, the remaining three galleries saw significantly fewer guests. The National Museum of Korea welcomed just over 3 million visitors. Meanwhile, the figures for the Museo del Prado in Spain and the State Hermitage in Russia were even lower, standing at approximately 2.9 million and 2.7 million visitors respectively.
