My Art Bucket List – Art Museums and other cool places

Where do I want to go next? Where are all the museums? Are there contemporary art museums in every country? Here you will not find all of these answers, however you will find a list. My list. My art bucket list.

I have never been to the places listed below and I wish to visit them in the future. If an institution is not included two reasons can apply:

1. I already went. 2. I do not know about it.

 

Dear visitor now is your chance to shine!

1 – Look through the list (I know it is long I bet you still can do it!), maybe start with your country/city

2 – Check if your favorite art place is in there.

3 – If not, (I am so sorry, please forgive me, I gave it my best, I swear) share it in the comments so everyone can know about it.

Also included in the list are large-scale installations, contemporary art centers, architecture spaces and other type of institutions. Galleries are not included (would be waaaaay too long). And I know I have a lot to do. I better start packing. FYI: the images are for illustration, they represent places I have already visited and wish to go back for more!

This list is not just for me, it is for everyone! Going somewhere new and you find yourself in need of inspiration? Check the list!
