The United States is a young country, just over 200 years old, but Americans love to collect art from all over the world and display it in museums. As a result, the United States has become the world’s largest museum country, large and small enough to have more than 6,000.
Today we take a look at the Top 5 museums in the United States from a tourist’s perspective.
1
Art Institute of Chicago
芝加哥艺术馆

Tripadvisor 全球票选连续四年美国Top博物馆。
It is not a vain name, the large area of the exhibition hall, the wealth of the collection, the variety of treasures, can be described as one of the best in the United States, and one of the few in the world.
If you love Fine Art, such as painting and sculpture, this is your paradise. Here you will see more than one or two works that are common in Western art history textbooks.
Look around, for example:
Van Gogh: The painter’s yellow-toned cottage
For example (known as the treasure of the town hall) :
Grant Wood： American Gothic
Another example:
Picasso: Portrait of Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler
It’s not covered!
Be sure to check it out when you get a chance!

The Metropolitan Museum of Art, located next to Central Park in New York City, is one of the largest art museums in the world.
The collection contains more than two million works of art, with more than 700,000 exhibited year-round, including a large collection of American visual and modern art, many classical artworks, ancient Egyptian artworks, and paintings by almost all European masters.
For example, Zhenguan Treasure:
Van Gogh’s self-portrait
Caravaggio: Musician.
And this, which I’m sure you’ve all seen, is in his house:
No more, there are more than 700,000 other perennial exhibits, you can go to see for yourself…

Good news! Good news! The National Gallery of Art is free all day today, and from now on, every day!
That’s right, admission to this U.S. government facility in Washington is free! – And yes, seven days a week!
This huge government office is divided into two buildings. The West Building houses important paintings and sculptures from the Middle Ages to the 19th century. Including the only Da Vinci in the United States. Dong Dong mainly collects modern art. Including Picasso, Andy Warhol, etc.
The exhibits are all the best, such as:
Andy Warhol’s signature cans
And this treasure of the town hall:
Da Vinci’s Ginevra de ‘Benci (Egg: painted with Da Vinci’s fingerprints)
An underground passageway connecting the east and west buildings. (There is a coffee shop at one end of the passageway.

费城艺术博物馆

Admission: Two-day pass: $20, students: $14
Philadelphia is the Jinggang Mountain of the United States, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art is one of the largest art galleries in the United States, and it is also the holy land where Teacher C has been wandering for countless times in his student days. The museum has a long history and was established in 1876 to coincide with the World Expo held in the same year, plus to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the country.
The front facade of the building uses authentic domestic Minnesota dolomite, imitating the shape of the ancient Greek Parthenon Temple.
Including the “Mona Lisa of Cubism” :
Jean Metzinger, Tea Time
And other notable collections:
Rubens: Prometheus in bondage
There are also some interesting pieces, such as armor handmade by artisans in medieval Milan, Italy:
Not only is the front door of this house a replica of the temple, but the inside is also very solemn, you see…
The layout in the lobby. It was as solemn as being in the Great Hall of the People.
Imitation of the temple gate. Those 72 steps at the door are also quite a test of will…

Museum of Modern Art，（MoMA）
现代艺术博物馆
地址：11 W 53rd St, New York, NY 10019, USA
网址：https://www.moma.org
门票：25美元，学生：14美元
Located on 53rd Street in Manhattan, New York City (between Fifth and Sixth Avenues), the Museum of Modern Art is home to one of the most distinguished collections of modern art in the world. It is often compared with the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art.
The owners of the Museum of Modern Art are rich and powerful, the famous Rockefeller family. I don’t need money. I buy expensive pieces. For example, the treasure of his house:
Van Gogh: Starry night
And this, Dali: eternal memory
Unfortunately, his home was a bland building, a square box:
The front door is not easy to recognize…
These five are located in different cities, including two in New York, one in Philadelphia, one in Washington, and one in Chicago. Don’t think you can do it all in one day.
To be honest, no matter which one, a week is not enough to visit ah…
