Five Indian museums feature among the best 25
in Asia while Leh’s ‘Hall of Fame’ has topped the India list as a “must-visit”
place by travellers in a survey.
The other top four most rated museums of
India are — Bagore Ki Haveli (Udaipur), Victoria Memorial Hall (Kolkata), Salar
Jung Museum (Hyderabad) and Jaisalmer War Museum (Jaisalmer).
Darshan Museum (Pune), Don Bosco Centre for
Indigenous Cultures (Shillong), Heritage Transport Museum (Taoru), Siddhagiri
Museum (Kolhapur), and Gandhi Smriti (New Delhi) also figure in the top-10 list
for India.
TripAdvisor will honour the ranked museums
with its Travellers’ Choice awards.
The list was determined using an algorithm
that took into account the quantity and quality of reviews and ratings for
museums worldwide, gathered over a 12-month period, it said.
No museums from India feature in the top 25
world list, which is topped by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
It is followed by Art Institute of Chicago, State Hermitage Museum and Winter
Palace, Musee d’Orsay, Paris and National Museum of Anthropology, Mexico.
The Museum of Qin Terracotta Warriors and
Horse in China topped the Asia list.
“Museums provide a passageway into the
history and culture of a place and the Travellers’ Choice awards for Museums
are a ready reckoner for travellers keen to enrich their knowledge about the
cities they travel to,” said Nikhil Ganju, the company’s country manager in
India.
