Tripadvisor: Acropolis Museum among the best museums in the world
The global museum list by Tripadvisor was released on Tuesday. It ranks 25 of the world’s best museums based on an algorithm that factors in the quality and quantity of reviews over a year-long period. Glowing reviews over a recent 12-month period have earned the Art Institute of Chicago the top ranking in TripAdvisor’s Travelers” Choice awards for museums, whereas the Museum of Acropolis was ranked at number 8.
The results are sometimes surprising. The Louvre, the world’s most visited museum, comes in at No. 19 on the global list, behind lesser-known museums such as Stockholm’s Vasa Museum (No. 13) and the Instituto Ricardo Brennand in Recife, Brazil (No. 17).
