Karlsruhe, Germany
ZKM. It may sound like a new model of souped-up Mercedes, but people in this industrial city in southern Germany know it as the self-proclaimed largest media arts museum in the world.
It's officially called the Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie, or Center for Art and Media Technology, but it's commonly called the ZKM. It's housed in a giant converted 1918 munitions factory, and its 10 large atriums contain three art museums and several art institutes.
During a freebie day early this year as part of the ZKM's 10-year anniversary celebration, about 5,000 visitors browsed through the block-long facility. (Usually, the daily visitor count is around 300.)
