Budget Travel has posted its list of the 12 most beautiful museums in the world. I have been to 8 of the 12 and I heartily agree.
You can find my piece on the Getty Museum on LA here.
Did they miss any?
A visit to the Desert View Watchtower on the eastern portion of the Grand Canyon’s South Rim. Constructed in the 1930s, it offers magnificent canyon views and a tie to the Native American history of the Canyon.
I was visiting a friend, and this was the view from their house. I could understand why they built their house facing this direction. I was taken by the beauty!

A lover of more intimate buildings, they might have called these the grandest, rather than most beautiful, as I see it. In the eye of the beholder and all that implies. A smaller building seems to tell me more, though, about the subjects on display and the origins of the building and collection. For instance, I much prefer the old Getty in Malibu to the new one shown in the link, more building than content by far, monument to ego. In any case, here are some I find more “beautiful.” http://www.musee-jacquemart-andre.comhttp://www.musee-delacroix.fr/fr/http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/575-wandsworth-road/ Possibly my all-time favorite, Leighton House in London:https://www.rbkc.gov.uk/subsit…m/aboutthehouse.aspx
