The splendid Badshahi Mosque ranks among the world's largest, and the city of Lahore's finest attractions. Apart from elaborate decor and architectural detail, mosque grounds contain the Tomb of Allama Iqbal, a prominent Pakistani philosopher and poet. It's beautifully illuminated at night; look over from the top floor of a restaurant in nearby Food Street.

Showcasing over 45,000 artefacts that span over 5,000 years of Peruvian pre-Columbian history, this museum is a true cultural experience not to be missed while in Lima. Its location is as historic as the treasures on display inside. It was built over a 7th-century pre-Columbian pyramid and is housed in an 18th-century vice-royal mansion. Ceramics, textiles, gold and jewels are presented throughout its rooms, but the most unique room here is, by far, the Erotic Gallery, where ceramic pieces depicting sexuality, fertility and maternity are shown. Pay a visit to its beautiful garden and the restaurant overlooking the pyramid for a taste of Peruvian cuisine.

One in ten of Kiruna’s residents is of Sami origin. The Sami people have their own national anthem, flag and language, one of five national minority languages recognized by Swedish law. Samegården is a Sami cultural centre and museum.

From 2005, the Stuttgart Museum of Art (Kunstmuseum Stuttgart) houses contemporary and modern art on an exhibition area of 5000 square metres. The building itself is a piece of art and at night the stone core of the glass cube glows. Other attractions are the museum's outstanding Otto Dix collection with around 250 of his works and the central section dedicated to abstract art.
