From art to design to architecture, you will love to visit these art museums
Art needs to be shared. And there is nothing that accomplishes this task better than art museums. Scattered around the world, they display works of art offering culture and reflection.
Paintings, sculptures, prints, photographs. These are the main compositions of museums and galleries. But, more and more, design museums are gaining space in the world – or design is gaining space in art museums.
The purpose of this list is to compile some important places with design exhibitions, some in large cities, others outside the tourist circuit of the arts, but still of great importance.

This art museum is located in Helsinki, Finland. Seen from the outside, only the skylights emerging from the ground on small mountains are visible.
