Tel Aviv Museum of Art/Elad Sharig
The Tel Aviv Museum of Art was ranked 75th in the list of the 100 most popular museums in the world with the highest number of visitors in 2023. The annual ranking, published in the international art magazine The Art Newspaper, includes the number of visitors to museums all over the world.
This is the sixth year in a row that the Tel Aviv Museum has been included in the list of the most popular museums in the world. This year, the achievement, an Israeli museum that managed to make it onto the prestigious list, is even less self-evident against the background of the war and crises facing the world art community. The Tel Aviv Museum did this thanks to a particularly impressive figure of almost one million visitors (906,350) during the year 2023 and is ranked alongside the most important and famous museums in the world such as the Guggenheim, MoMA and the Metropolitan in New York, the British Museum and Tate Modern in London. At the top of the list are the Vatican and the Louvre Museum in Paris in first place with the largest number of visitors in the world.
Tanya Cohen Uziali, CEO of the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, said: "It is exciting and significant these days to gain international recognition and to be placed among the leading museums in the world art scene. This achievement gains even more validity in light of the fact that the museum was closed to the public for two whole months when the war broke out. I thank the large crowd of visitors who chose to come to the Tel Aviv Museum of Art and who visit even in these times. Thanks to you and thanks to the creative and valuable work of the museum staff, we continue to be committed to presenting the best local and international art."
