While sightseeing, tours, and activities often dominate a trip, culture enthusiasts naturally gravitate toward prominent museums in the country they visit.

There is a hypnotic quality to journeying through time via artefacts, preserved art, and memorabilia that celebrate the legacy of a nation and its people.
