Find the Most Visited Museums in the USA

It’s refreshing to learn that people take time away from their phones to increase their knowledge and visit museums. The American Alliance of Museums reports that there are approximately 850 million visits each year to American museums. People visit museums more than they attend all major league sporting events and theme parks. Whether on school trips or family days out, museums are educational, often inspiring, and always a great day out for people young and old.
Here is the list of Most Visited Museums in the USA.

1. National Air and Space Museum, Washington, DC
You don’t have to be a space fanatic to be amazed by the National Air and Space Museum’s collection of aviation and space artifacts. As part of the Smithsonian Institution, the National Air and Space Museum is the largest of its kind – so large that its thousands of artifacts are showcased in two buildings. The main exhibit at the museum in Washington, DC opened in 1976 and follows the history and highlights of the innovation that led to American space exploration. The museum at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center is a massive, hangar-like building that houses large aircraft and spacecraft, including the space shuttle Discovery.

2. Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
In 1866, after a group of Americans experienced how Parisians bring art and art education to the French people, they decided that the American people also deserved a “national institution and gallery of art.” That was the moment the Metropolitan Museum of Art, more commonly known as The Met, set out to collect some of the world’s rarest and most beautiful artifacts and works of art. The Met is now in three locations – The Met Fifth Ave, The Met Breuer, and The Met Cloisters – and houses over 5,000 years of art from around the world. Among the collection are some of the world’s most recognizable works of art including Washington Crossing the Delaware by Emanuel Leutze, Vincent van Gogh’s Self-Portrait with a Straw Hat, and Claude Monet’s Bridge over a Pond of Water Lilies.
