Destination painting
A destination painting or bucket list painting is a painting that in itself may inspire cultural tourism to a museum or other destination.[1][2][3] Often such a work would be considered a "masterpiece". A more general characterization would be destination art.[4]
Role in museums
Collections may adopt a policy to keep a destination painting permanently on location, where visitors can expect to see it, by preventing any loan to a travelling exhibition.[5] They may also compete to acquire a potential destination painting during an art auction.[1][6]
Such paintings can lead to overtourism in parts of a museum where the work is displayed, leading to challenges in exhibit design.[7][8][2][3][9][10] This overcrowding can be exacerbated by modern social media photography.[11] The tendency toward a crowded quick experience for major works has had a reaction in the more contemplative "slow art" movement.[12]
