This list of museums is defined for this context as institutions (including nonprofit organizations, government entities, and private businesses) that collect and care for objects of cultural, artistic, scientific, or historical interest and make their collections or related exhibits available for public viewing. Museums that exist only in cyberspace (i.e., virtual museums) are not included.
For individual topics, see list of science museums, list of natural history museums, list of transport museums, and articles on art galleries, print rooms, national museums and art museums in general.
According to the Museums of the World, there are about 55,000 museums in 202 countries.
This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources.Afghanistan
