The House Museum List

I love visiting house museums for design and interiors inspiration, and it seems like a lot of you do, too. I recently posted a list of eight house museums on Instagram and asked you to share some of your favorites. Almost 200 comments later, we have a list of more than 80 places around the world!

I thought it would be helpful to put all of the recommendations together in one place to reference for your travels. I know I’ll be using this list! I’ll continue to add to it as I do more research and visit new places, so feel free to leave a comment with any others I should add.
