The country's largest museum lives in Amsterdam. Rijksmuseum hosts nearly 1,000,000 separate pieces. Pictured is the reading room, which looks like it's straight out of Hogwarts.

Florence is home to the world's largest collection of renaissance paintings. They also have, as you can see in the picture, one very sleepy statue.

The Met is the largest museum in the western hemisphere, boasting two million separate pieces from all over the globe.

Located in Madrid, the Prado has an impressive collection, which was originally compiled by the Spanish royal family, who only opened the museum to the public in 1819.

Eight -- count 'em, eight -- million pieces are housed inside London's massive museum, with the biggest draw consistently being the sprawling Egyptian collection.

Russia may not be the first country that comes to mind when thinking about fine art, but the Hermitage holds an impressive collection of 3 million pieces from all over the

world.

Sitting in the shadow of Acropolis, it's no surprise one of the western world's oldest and most intellectual civilizations hosts a gorgeous museum in its capital.

Mona Lisa's house is probably the best known museum in the world. Situated in the heart of Paris, the building was originally a fortress in medieval times, before being converted hundreds of

years ago.

Technically it's a museum of natural history, but there's more than enough here to entertain an art buff. In fact, if you were to spend one minute looking at every item in

the Smithsonian, it would take you over 10 years to see all 13 million pieces.
