Favourite Museums in the World

How this was counted. Counted by distinct redditor who names a museum. A reply that only says “seconding this” or “came here to say this” adds nothing, which is a real cost here: the Met is the thread's top comment by a wide margin and half its replies are agreement without a name, so it sits lower than the thread feels. The rule is kept anyway, because the alternative — judging by eye which replies count — is not a rule at all. Answers naming a city rather than a museum (“that museum in Cairo”) are read as the obvious one. The thread is from 2023 and one entry, the Newseum in Washington, was already permanently closed when five people named it — it stays, because a tally records what people said, not what is currently open.
