Porto's Serralves Museum Joins World's 100 Most Visited in 2025
The Serralves Museum of Contemporary Art in Porto has secured a place among the world's 100 most visited art museums for 2025. This achievement makes it the only Portuguese institution in the global top 100. Meanwhile, the Louvre in Paris retained its position as the most visited museum overall.
The latest rankings highlight a strong year for cultural institutions worldwide. The Louvre once again led the list, drawing more visitors than any other museum. South Korea also stood out, recording the sharpest rise in attendance figures.
Closer to home, Portugal's Serralves Museum earned its spot in the elite group. While exact visitor numbers for 2025 remain unpublished as of April 2026, the recognition confirms its growing international profile. Another Portuguese venue, MAC/CCB in Lisbon, also featured in the top 150, though outside the highest tier.
Serralves Museum's inclusion in the top 100 underscores its significance in the global art scene. The Louvre's continued dominance and South Korea's surge in visitor numbers reflect broader trends in cultural engagement. For Portugal, the rankings mark a notable presence in the international museum landscape.
