Get a crowd-sourced dose of culture: our Twitter followers share their top museum and gallery picks.
We recently asked our Twitter friends to nominate some of their favourite museums or galleries from around the world. New York, London and Paris were among the most popular culture cities, but we also received suggestions for destinations as disparate as Miami and Addis Ababa (where the Ethiopian National Museum houses the famous early hominid "Lucy", named after the Beatles' track that has her in a Sky of Diamonds). Here are some of the responses:
@kelpenhagen I love the Brookyln Museum, LA MOCA, Neue Gallery in Manhattan, and discovered the Wolfsonian in Miami - it's excellent
