10. El Prado, Madrid, Spain

1. Smithsonian Air and Space Museum, Washington, DC, U.S.A.
2. San Francisco Exploratorium, San Francisco, U.S.A.
3. Victoria and Albert Museum, London, Great Britain

The survey was a decidedly non-scientific experiment, with the sample size limited to the readership of an almost entirely English-speaking blog. However, we found it revealing in that many of the usual suspects landed on the list, with one unusual one on the top.
