Are you longing to activate your out-of-office autoreply, but tired of hitting the same cities over and over? For your next big trip, consider adding an extra leg to visit a destination museum. From a tiny Japanese art island to a sprawling cultural compound in the Brazilian countryside, art institutions are springing up around the globe in far-flung locales that you might not otherwise think to visit. But trust us, it’s worth the trek. 
If the dreaded drum roll to Labor Day has your wanderlust in overdrive, check out our list of 12 unique museums you should travel the world to visit.

Naoshima, Japan

A tiny island in Japan’s Seto Inland Sea, Naoshima is an art junkie’s dream, with more museums per gorgeous square foot than you’re likely to find anywhere else. During the 1990s, Japanese businessman Soichiro Fukutake transformed the once-quiet isle into an immersive art destination centered around a largely subterranean museum designed by Pritzker Prize winner Tadao Ando. The Chichu Art Museum houses a world-class collection of works by Modern masters ranging from Claude Monet to James Turrell and Walter De Maria. Other highlights of the island include the Lee Ufan Museum and the Benesse House Museum. Not tired yet? The Teshima Art Museum and Inujima Seirensho Art Museum are accessible by ferry on a nearby island.

Messner Mountain Museum in South Tyrol, Italy

If you like your culture with a side of hiking, the Messner Mountain Museum in Italy is for you. Developed by the champion mountaineer Reinhold Messner, the first man to climb Mount Everest alone without bottled oxygen, it is a constellation of six institutions devoted to the history and culture of mountain climbing. The newest museum in the bunch, called Corones, is a concrete vessel wedged into the side of a mountaintop by the late architect Zaha Hadid. The collection includes early maps, old hiking boots, and other tools of the trade. But as any climber will tell you, it’s not the destination (i.e., the museum) that will bring you joy as much as the journey to get there.
