Ah the beloved museum. You’re sure fired to at least been to one in your lifetime, and if you’ve done any travel through Europe you’ve probably been to plenty. Often, a love/hate relationship will be formed with a museum. They are filled with knowledge and history, but can often be way too big and get a little boring. So if it’s excitement, fun and engagement that you seek, and you wanna come across as super cultured at the same time, here are the top museums across the world you gotta get to.

If ancient history is your passion, then book your flights and get yourself to Cairo. Filled with some of the finest archaeological finds from Egypt, the museums also provides a rare opportunity to pop in and within minutes be standing face to face with Tutankhamen’s golden mask.
