They’ve also devoted their time to multiple education initiatives in arts, including an Arthaus program for teenagers at their Somerset location and Mark Bradford's Art + Practice youth program in Los Angeles.

Since officially finding his gallery in 1990, he epitomizes many French artists, like Tatiana Trouve, Sophie Calle, and Xavier Veilhan and newer names like JR and Daniel Arsham. The gallery is also notorious for forking outside of the art biosphere; having partnered with the likes of Massive Attack and Pharrell, just to name a few.

 

  1. Smithsonian Institution

Where? Washington, D.C.

Attractions? Dorothy’s ruby red slippers, dresses worn by the First Ladies, and the original Star-Spangled Banner at the National Museum of American History; the Gem at the National Museum of Natural History; and the Wright brothers’ 1903 Flyer, the Spirit of St. Louis, and the Apollo 11 command component at the National Air and Space Museum.

The Smithsonian is the perhaps the globe’s chief research and museum place. It houses 19 museums and galleries, the National Zoological Park, and numerous research channels. Estimated around more than 137 million objects specifying America’s history are stored here, so you ought to prepare for a lot of walking. There’s aplenty to be marvelled that, if you spent a minute daily looking at each object on exhibition, even in a decade you’d see only a very small fraction of the entire collection. Therefore, it’s sensible to leave with a plan. Emphasise on only one to two exhibits at two to three other museums.

 

  1. Le Louvre

Where? Paris, France

Attractions? Leonardo da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa and “Venus de Milo,” “Winged Victory of Samothrace”

The Louvre was regarded to be an archaic fort and the palace of the French kings. This was prior to it becoming a museum two-hundred years ago. When they added I. M. Pei’s pyramid, it came as a shocker to many at the time it was revealed in the year 1989 as the new chief entrance. Looking at it, it somehow does the trick of assimilating the palace’s incongruent elements. The museum’s collections, which array from antiquity to the first half of 1900, are among the most significant in the whole wide world.

Pro tip:  Begin your Louvre journey at the Sully Wing. This is situated at the foundations of Philippe-Auguste’s medieval keep—which lies in the core of the Louvre, children enjoy it, and it leads on straight up to where the Egyptian rooms are.
