For every world-famous European museum such as the Louvre or Prado, there’s one that flies under the radar. The following collection is made up of both quirky and unusual museums and those that are home to world-class collections but just aren’t as well known as they should be.

Bottle Peter’s Museum, Denmark

Denmark’s Aero Island is known primarily for its windswept beaches and collection of colorful, cute-as-a-button cottages, but this quirky museum dedicated to one man’s passion for ships in bottles also pulls in the crowds. Bottle Peter—as he came to be known—was an accomplished sailor and managed to build more than 1,700 bottle ships in his lifetime, and they’re now on display here for all to enjoy.

Fondation Louis Vuitton, France

A beautiful space dedicated to contemporary art and culture designed by legendary architect Frank Gehry, Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris is a pure work of art itself. You‘ll be amazed at the futuristic glass architecture outside, the wide range of events and exhibitions inside, and the fact that you’ll have much more elbow room here than in the city’s other ever-popular A-list museums.
