The winner of the Gulbenkian Prize for Museum of the Year 2007 will be announced at an evening ceremony on May 24 2007. But who do 24 Hour Museum readers think should win the prize?

The voting for the 2007 Readers' Poll for the Gulbenkian Prize is now closed

In the last few months since the 2007 Gulbenkian Prize Museum of the Year longlist was announced in February, 24 Hour Museum readers have flooded our people's poll virtual ballot box with 4,378 votes for the museum they wanted to see win the Gulbenkian Museum prize.

Voting for the 24 Hour Museum People's Poll is now closed and we now have the top five. It's pretty close to the official shortlist, with the exception of the Warner Textile Archive, which thanks to our reader's votes even beat one of the officially shortlisted museums. But which one? And which museum is the overall winner of our unofficial People's Vote?

All will be revealed by midday on May 23 - before the official 2007 Gulbenkian Museum of the Year is announced at a ceremony at London's RIBA later in the evening.

But for now we give you a selection of the comments that have arrived in the 24 Hour Museum inbox over the last few months - each of them revealing just how much our museums and galleries mean to the thousands upon thousands of people who visit them...

Just click on the highlighted museum names below to find out what people think about their local museum or gallery.
