must visit museum, the building is just so stunning inside. free entry and only some of the exhibitions are paid. the inside is a famous scene from the movie "your name"

A stunning museum you can enter for free. Make sure to visit the garden as well, especially in the spring. One of my top recommendations among the Parisian museums.

It’s not a stock market, but a stunning art gallery. After years of renovation, it reopened in 2021, showing The Pinault Collection of art and installations. A warm recommendation, as the building is magnificent in itself, and located in the heart of Paris. The exhibitions are excellent too.

Tucked away in Le Marais, this museum offers a fascinating glimpse into France’s history. Housed in the stunning Hôtel de Soubise, it showcases historical documents, including the original Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen. The museum’s gardens are also a delight and open to the public (free entrance).

the Unko Museum (Poop Museum) is a one-of-a-kind "untertainment" facility dedicated to the world of poop but in the cutest, most "kawaii" way possible. It isn't a museum of history or science; it is a colorful, interactive art space filled with pastel colored poop sculptures, games, and photo zones designed to break the taboo around the subject with humor.

The Fujiko · F · Fujio Museum, located in Kawasaki near Tokyo, is dedicated to the beloved creator of Doraemon and other iconic manga characters. Set in a playful, immersive space, the museum showcases original drawings, interactive exhibits, short animated films, and thoughtfully designed rooms inspired by Fujiko F. Fujio’s world. Surrounded by greenery and featuring a themed café, it’s a charming visit for fans of Japanese pop culture and storytelling.

The Ghibli Museum, located in Mitaka, Tokyo, is a whimsical space dedicated to the films of Studio Ghibli. Designed by Hayao Miyazaki, it invites visitors into the studio’s imaginative world through original artwork, film clips, interactive exhibits, and exclusive short animations. With its storybook architecture and lush surroundings, the museum celebrates creativity, animation, and the magic of storytelling.

Like any natural history museum worth its salt, this relatively small but impressive collection offers a fascinating glimpse into Earth's history with minerals, meteors, and dinosaur skeletons, all housed in a beautifully preserved, historic building that truly feels like stepping back in time. One of my personal favorites as a dinosaur aficionado, the architecture, curation, and contents make this a highly underrated and lesser-known experience.

Jumex in Polanco features artists like Damien Hirst, Andy Warhol, Jeff Koons, Cy Twombly, and David LaChapelle. Located in a striking, minimalist building by British architect David Chipperfield, it focuses on vanguard (albeit occasionally social-media bate-y) exhibits.

Founded in 1588 as a Jesuit college, San Ildefonso later became part of the National University of Mexico and a key cultural institution. It is closely linked to figures like Diego Rivera and houses important murals by Rivera, Orozco, and Siqueiros. The colonial building now hosts temporary exhibitions by artists such as Louise Bourgeois, alongside its historic collections. It also occasionally presents orchestral concerts in its beautiful auditorium, making it worth following their Instagram for updates.
