The Museums and Art Galleries ranking compares the most important museums and galleries in the world. The institutions are not ordered considering artistic criteria like their works of art, their authors’ prestige or their worldwide importance. The only considered criterion is the website visibility.
For elaborating this ranking we have applied a method that we have defined which is based on information as the number of indexed documents, links to the domain or the web popularity. This information has been obtained from most relevant search engines. This ranking does not exclude others also accessible through the Web. The one presented here is performed with our method and tries to give an idea about the visibility of the domains included in the ranking. As the used method is based in our own experience, the obtained results can not coincide with results based on other criteria.
