Museum Counts by Country
The latest reliable national figure is used where available; other rows use UNESCO 2021. Definitions and years differ, so counts are not directly comparable.
The 20 highest counts are shown first. Use search, sorting or Show all. Select the question mark for the source, year, scope and review date.
Counts use different national definitions. The order is approximate, not a definitive world ranking.
