Hello Ryw,

Finland has the highest museum to person ratio.


"There are over 1000 museums in Finland.  There are more museums per
capita in Finland than in any other country: One for approx. 5,000
inhabitants."

?Altogether, there are over 1000 museums in Finland. In proportion to
its population Finland probably has more museums than any other
country. One third of all the museums have at least one full-time
employee.?
