Over the years I have had the opportunity to visit each of these museums at least once. While I enjoy the art, I am usually looking for artifacts that provide some background for the Bible. That would make a good list.

If I should be asked to suggest number 11, it would be the Pergamon Museum, Berlin, Germany.
