"Most Googled Paintings (2020)"

With access to museums and galleries restricted since the COVID-19 pandemic started, millions around the world resorted to the internet to quell their thirst for fine art. So what major artworks did they Google the most in 2020?


The list consists of famous masterpieces from the Western canon of art history. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Leonardo da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa” ranks first among the most searched paintings of last year with over one million online searches on average each month. Pablo Picasso’s “Guernica” comes second, with almost half the monthly average search volume (454,500). In third is da Vinci’s Last Supper (343,000).

"Most visited museums worldwide"

Attendance at museums and galleries worldwide declined sharply in 2020 over the previous year due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. That year, museums and similar cultural institutions around the globe had to stay close for several months as governments implemented emergency restrictions to limit the spread of the virus.


Overall, the Louvre in Paris, France, recorded the highest figure in 2020, welcoming roughly 2.7 million visitors. In 2019, it registered around 9.6 million visitors. The National Museum of China in Beijing placed second on the ranking in 2020, with 1.6 million visitors. Check out the Top 20 in the dataset below.
