Just a tiny bit of information:
In Austria (Europe) we have 9 federal museums, attended by 3 million
visitors in 1998.
In Austria (still Europe), we have altogether about 900 museums. The total
visitor number is not known exactly, but it seems close to 8 million (thanks
also to our tourists). Accidentally, the number of inhabitants of Austria is
also 8 million (including babies, smokers and museum employees).
