| Abstract: | Superstar museums are characterized by (1) great prominence among tourists and world fame among general population; (2) a large number of visitors; (3) a collection of generally known painters and individual paintings; (4) an exceptional architecture; (5) a large role of commercialization, including a substantial impact on local economy. Superstar museums are forced to offer "total experience" to the visitors. The development of superstar status strongly affects museum policy. |
