A great achievement in only 5 years since opening, although I guess the top ten list is measured by visitors’ enthusiasm (subjective) rather than objective criteria. The exclusion of the NY Met., the Louvre and the British Museum I think would surprise many. The Hermitage is sufficiently awe-inspiring to get a vote, but the average guided visit there is hurried and amid the press of crowds, at least in summer. Anyway, well done Prof. Pandermalis and colleagues. :-)
