Most Famous Art Museums Around the World

Art museum is the collections of much variety of exhibitions and paintings. There are old art, new art, pretty art, art that makes us think or is even shocking. Anything that people experience turns up in art: love, war, eating, sports, nature, and faith, anything at all. Most museums are either free or have free days when you can go and enjoy the art. Commercial galleries are also free. Many places offer free lectures, either by an artist whose work is on display, or by individuals who are very knowledgeable in a particular collection on display.

What is the proper name for an old art practice that uses paper material and stain to form statues?

I have a statue of an old jolly man that I thought was wood but it is made from some type of pressed paper and stained brown. I thought I saw this type of art on The Antique Road Show awhile ago but cant remember what it was called or anything about the artist, other then it was a woman. There is no signature or tag on the piece. thanks

I can only think of papier maché, which can either be done with mushed up paper, or else with strips.
