I'm not a museum type of guym, but since I was in Firenze, I had to check out David's dick (no homo).
I like to call it Firenze; IWILTD.

One can imagine a young @DerekJohnson sipping Coca Cola in a small jazz club on a dirty rainy night on the Left Bank.

Yeah, I pulled this off a top 10 list from a Reuters piece and it looked mostly right so I went with it.
But, yes, those you mention are more deserving than a couple here- e.g., Getty.
St. Peterburg/Moscow would be my top bucket list trip, but I reckon it will never happen in my lifetime. Those Ruskies have had too many centuries of national trauma to be a relatively normal state.

I assume the second one here translates in English to "Kunt Historic Museum," right?

National Gallery in London is great, but the Portrait Gallery is the overlooked gem - don't sleep on the Portrait Gallery.
London is fine. I don't hate London. But given the choice of Metallica in Cardiff/Glasgow vs. London it was a no brainer - London is a PITA. BTW me and another family are on the Lux Aeterna platform. Boom.
In terms of museums - are we excluding antiquities? Like is your "art" defined as 1200AD - Present?
2000 years ago, some hero turned a piece of marble into a work of art. Go to the Naples Museum (Naples is Grade A shithole, but Naples Museum is Grade A must see - all the good shit from Pompeii, Herculaneum, and the Baths of Caracalla is in there).
This shit is Hustler, not Playboy, if you get my drift. Lost art…
