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]
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]
