Budget Travel has posted its list of the 12 most beautiful museums in the world. I have been to 8 of the 12 and I heartily agree.

 

You can find my piece on the Getty Museum on LA here.

 

Did they miss any?

Original Post

A lover of more intimate buildings, they might have called these the grandest, rather than most beautiful, as I see it.  In the eye of the beholder and all that implies.  A smaller building seems to tell me more, though, about the subjects on display and the origins of the building and collection.  For instance, I much prefer the old Getty in Malibu to the new one shown in the link, more building than content by far, monument to ego.

 

In any case, here are some I find more "beautiful."

Possibly my all-time favorite, Leighton House in London:
