A
Listed here are four of the thousands of impressive museums around the world.
The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao in Bilbao，Spain
Built in1997，the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao is one of the newest in the world. It has transformed the industrial city of Bilbao into a travelers' desired destination. The beautiful architecture of the museum has provided a dramatic background for movies and commercials.
The Louvre in Paris，France
Probably the most famous Louvre also holds the most famous painting in the world，the “Mona Lisa”by Leonardo da Vinci. Crowds can be found any day surrounding the small，but mysterious painting of the smiling woman. But，the Louvre is much more than a home to the“Mona Lisa”. The Louvre is visited by more people each year than any other museum in the world.
The Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia，America
Just opened in its new downtown location in2012，the Barnes Foundation is unique in that it is a completely reproduced display from one man's private collection. Dr. Albert C. Barnes started collecting art in the early20th century and collected，among others，the largest number of original Renoir paintings in the world.
The Uffizi Gallery in Florence，Italy
Walking on the marbled floors feels like stepping back in time. The building itself is a beautiful palacelike structure with frescoes(湿壁画)decorating the ceilings and walls. Viewers are bowled over(印象深刻)by the works by Botticelli，such as“The Birth of V enus”. Classic artworks from nearly1，000years ago describe religious events of the time.

“Food in France is still primarily about pleasure，”says Mark Singer，technical director of cuisine at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris. “Cooking and eating are both pastimes(消遣)and pleasure.” The French might start their day with bread，butter，jam，and perhaps something hot to drink—it's a time of the day when the whole family can be united. Singer，born in Philadelphia，has lived in France for more than40years.
“Although things have changed greatly in the past20years when it comes to food in the country，”he says，“and what was a big affair with eating has been slowly softened up，there are still events in the year，like birthdays and New Year's Eve and Christmas Eve that are still really anchored in traditional food and cooking. But it's not every day.”
Some people think French food life may be a performance，adds Jennifer Berg，director of graduate food studies at New York University. “They want to believe that France is this nation where people are spending five hours a day going to12different markets to get their food. The reality is most croissants(羊角面包)are factorymade，and most people are buying convenience food，except for the very small group of people in high society. But part of our identity relies on believing that myth.”
In Italy，as in France，takeout is still relatively rare. “Eating fast is not at all part of our culture，”says Marco Bolasco，editorial director of Slow Food and an Italian food expert. Our meals are relaxed，even during a lunch break. Food in Italy is love，and nutrition，and pleasure，he says. An Italian child's first experience with food is not small round cakes or rice or eggs，but probably ice cream，notes Bolasco. Status and wealth play less of a role in food.
