FOR many tourists, a city break would be incomplete without visiting a musem or gallery to take in some culture. Last year, the Louvre in Paris attracted the highest number of visitors—8.5m people streamed through to peer at the Mona Lisa and the other treasures within. The French capital punches above its weight with another three museums high up on a list of favourites compiled by the Art Newspaper. Galleries in New York, London and Rome reap the benefits of high numbers of tourists. Free entry at London's galleries has also boosted visitors.
