The latter building, triggering a mixed reaction from the public, built over 20 years ago. At the entrance visitors are greeted by a tall glass pyramid, distracting from the overall style of the Palace and causing annoyance to local residents.

If you ask the Italians, which is the largest Museum in the world, the answer is unequivocal-the Vatican, after all, to get around all the exhibits, you will need to walk 7 kilometers. A huge complex of 1,400 rooms, impresses impressionable visitors to the ancient masterpieces. Many people come here only for visiting the majestic Church, the Sistine chapel, looking from the outside rather inconspicuous. But inside of the astonished tourists stops the spirit from the beauty of unique creations of the Italian masters of the Renaissance.
Great paintings, do not lose brightness of paints for many centuries, tell about the ancient history around the world ranging from the creation of the Lord and ending with the last judgment.

Paintings by the great masters Dali, Gauguin, Chagall and a vast collection of Orthodox icons gather crowds of admiring tourists.
If you argue from the point of view of the sizes of pavilions, the world's largest Museum opened its transparent doors to all art lovers in Japan recently. A unique design space, created using the most modern technology, is a curved sea wave glass wall, could not be betterthe sun block in the great hall. The spacious halls are empty, despite the fact that their works of art in the Museum there. Erected in the hope to pursue a temporary cultural displays, a huge building attracts tourists world-scale exhibitions.
