12. National Museum of China – Beijing, China
The National Museum of China, which takes up a large percentage of the eastern side of world-famous Tiananmen Square, is one of the busiest museums in the world. Last year alone, it saw 7.6 million visitors, who came to peruse the two wings — the Museum of the Chinese Revolution, and the National Museum of Chinese History, which were merged into one museum in 2003. The museum is full of treasures like the gigantic bronzeware of the Shang dynasty, Han dynasty jade, and Qing dynasty pottery and porcelain.
