Paris has a wealth of cultural offerings and world-class museums, but now, its standing as a leader in the field has been made official as this year’s TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards ranks the Musée d’Orsay as the best museum in the world.
The Musée d’Orsay is world-renowned for its stunning collection of art and striking Beaux-Arts architecture. It is one of the world’s most awe-inspiring museums and now, it has won the title of top museum in the TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards 2018.
In second and third place came New York’s 9/11 Memorial Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, respectively, while the UK’s top winner, the British Museum, followed behind in fourth place.
In many ways, the victory for Paris comes as little surprise, as the city has long captivated peoples’ imaginations as the most artistic capital in Europe. Based on real travellers’ opinions and experiences, the TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards add weight to this claim.
Award winners were determined using an algorithm that took into account the quantity and quality of reviews and ratings for museums worldwide, gathered over a 12-month period, and the Musée d’Orsay came out on top.
