Museum of Modern Art

Where is the MoMA? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.2.161.248 (talk) 21:31, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I too was surprised at the MoMA's absence.72.93.180.160 (talk) 22:50, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why do you mix "free fees" musems with "paying fees " ones?

they aren't the same, when you'll get almost 9millions ppl visiting Louvre museum paying 14€, and ppl crossing others free museums halls only for a ride!

Powerhouse Museum

The Powerhouse Museum, Sydney Australia had 719,000 visitors in the 2008-09 financial year. It needs including. Reference: Trustees of the Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences

Detroit Institute of Arts

I believe that the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA) had around "540,000 visitors in 2008". (see http://www.modeldmedia.com/inthenews/diaattendance16308.aspx)

I'm not sure why this wouldn't be included, as it's one of the largest museums in the USA.

I suppose it depends on the criterion, as "annual attendance for the DIA averages about 350,000 a year" (DIA.org).

Is this page, then, peak attendance or average attendance (and if so, over what period of time?). This should be specified. As well, I'm not sure 2010 figures have been released by the DIA. Does this exclude them from this article?

I suppose my main point boils down to: Does one periodical really have the ability to state that they're sure of the "100 most visited art museums in the world"? There should be multiple sources to be scientifically credible (not that that is necessarily the standard this page is held to).

Philadelphia Museum of Art

I found it peculiar that the PMA was not on this list, considering it is in the top ten most visited US art museum. Any ways, I checked the attendance numbers from some shaky sources and found them in agrence that the PMA has about 800,000 visitors a year.
