The arts and archaeology collections are very frequent: fine arts (11.9%), religious art (10.2%) modern and contemporary arts (9.9%), archaeology (15.5%), but ethnography and cultural anthropology (16.9%) and history (11.4%) are also well represented.<\/p>\n
In 2011, the Italian museums reached 103,888,764 admissions. Alone, three regions make up 51% of the total admissions: Toscana (22.1%), Lazio (20.1%), Lombardia (8.8%).<\/p>\n
The top 15 museums\/institutes recorded in 2011 about one million admissions each, and have absorbed nearly 1\/3 (30%) visits.<\/p>\n
The majority (63.8%) of Italian museums are held by public bodies. 1,909 institutes, i.e. 41.6%, belong to municipal governments and only 9% to the Ministry for Cultural Heritage, Activities and Tourism; State museums attract, however,\u00a0 over 40 million visits (38.8%).<\/p>\n
