A leading travel and booking resource TripAdvisor has released Traveler choice awards 2016 for the best museums in the world. The ranking compiled by traveller’s preferences and ratings offer little love for Asian and African institutions, but have good news for many scene stalwarts in Europe and the Americas.

Top of the heap is the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the vast New York institution that houses ancient artefacts alongside a who's who of classical and modern art.
Likewise, the State Hermitage in St. Petersburg, Paris's art-crammed Musee d'Orsay and London's British Museum are all blockbuster collections that keep the travellers returning year after year.
