There are the famous galleries like the Louvre and the Hermitage and the Prado, but also some great lesser known art collections like the Wallace Collection or the Sackler Museum which are worth seeking out - they contain some great art, and are much less crowded. So list of the best art galleries in the world encompasses some of the better known as well as more obscure galleries - but please help us grow it so that wherever you end up on holiday, you don't miss seeing something special for want of knowing what might only be a short detour away.
