International achievement for the Tel Aviv Museum of Art

Despite the minority of tourists in Israel, the Tel Aviv Museum of Art has won international respect. The museum was ranked 75th in the list of the 100 most popular museums in the world with the highest number of visitors in 2023. The ranking was published in The Art Newspaper magazine and includes the number of visitors to museums all over the world.

This is not the first time that the Israeli museum has brought us honor, in fact this is the sixth year in a row that it has been included in the prestigious list. However, this year his winning is surprising and comes despite the war and against the background of the crisis facing the world art community.

The museum did this thanks to the approximately one million visitors (906,350) who voted with their feet during the year 2023, and is ranked alongside world-famous museums such as the Guggenheim, MoMA and the Metropolitan in New York, the British Museum and Tate Modern in London. At the top of the list are the Vatican and the Louvre Museum in Paris.

Tania Cohen Uziali, CEO of the Tel Aviv Museum of Art: "It is exciting and significant these days to gain international recognition and to be placed among the leading museums in the world art scene. This achievement gains new validity in light of the fact that the museum was closed to the public for two whole months at the outbreak of the war. I thank the large crowd of visitors who chose to come to the Tel Aviv Museum of Art and who visit even in these times. Thanks to you and thanks to the creative and valuable work of the museum staff, we continue to be committed to presenting the best local and international art."
