Famous Art Galleries Around The World

If you’re familiar with pieces of art like the Mona Lisa, you’ve probably heard about the galleries in which such masterworks are found. Famous art galleries around the world include:

Musee du Louvre (France)

Musee d’Orsay (France)

National Gallery of Art (USA)

National Gallery of Canada (Canada)

The Hermitage Museum (Russia)

Tate Gallery (UK)

The Smithsonian Institute (USA)

All of these galleries have world class collections of art. You can see sculptures, paintings, installation art and many other exhibits. If you’re lucky, traveling exhibits (art lent to the museum for a short time), might be on display and you may get to view famous pieces you wouldn’t otherwise get to see. Art galleries are an exemplary way to experience the culture of the country in which you are traveling.

Galleries That Sell Art

Galleries are not only for displaying art; you can often buy art from a gallery in your area. This is a great way to support local artists and to obtain original art. Watch the prices, though – some artists will charge quite a lot for their art and the gallery will tack on their own profit margin. On the other hand, original art can be a good investment. Use your own judgment; it may be the best advice to choose art that suits your tastes. Here's another tip: some galleries allow you to bargain with the artists. Ask the gallery if they will allow you to do so.

More than just a cultural thing to do, visiting an art gallery can be part of learning about the world around you. In today’s modern museums and galleries, you will be enthralled with the color and movement before you.
