There's one in Boston! Isabella Stewart Gardner museum.
In Mexico City, El Museo Dolores Olmedo. Olmedo was a socialite and an art collector who was friends with Diego Rivera. Her house became an art museum open to the public after her death. One quirky thing about the grounds is that she collected peacocks when she was alive, and they wander around the gardens everywhere.

There is also Doris Duke's former home, Shangri La, in Honolulu, Hawaii. It's currently open as a museum for Islamic art, and features a lot of reconstruction work that Duke performed herself.

Hi Emi. You need to contact the artist and art theoretist Ulla Karttunen from Finland. She had an art gallery in her home while she lived in Paris. Ulla became involved in a long court process as she dealt with the sensitive area of child pornography that is openly availavle on the web in her latest exhibition. http://www.hbl.fi/text/kultur/2008/2/20/d10379.php. If you have problems contacting her drop me a line on Twitter at MikaNyman.
I'm interested now in what qualifies as a private house turned museum - does it have to have a collection, or could it be a private house that is empty but now open to the public? Villa Savoye is a wonderful house but completely empty except for a few non-original sticks of Charlotte Perriand/le Corbusier furniture. Is it a museum or a private house now open to the public? More of a museum is the Maison Louis Carre, built and furnished by Aalto, also west of Paris. All the original furniture and furnishings are there.
Either way the Villa Savoye is fabulous. But I'd say it's not a museum, which to me has to house a collection of some kind.
in berlin: the house of bertolt brecht (bertolt-brecht-haus)
in vienna: the bauhaus-villa haus wittgenstein
in weimar(germany): the house of goethe with garden
moscow: Lenin-Haus in Uljanovsk

I hope these guys are paying your expenses! You have a lot of ground to cover here.
I grew up in California and there is always the Winchester House - Sarah Winchester was the heir to the Winchester rifle fortune and was basically convinced she was haunted and if she ever stopped building her house she would die. It ended up with all sorts of crazy rooms and stairways to nowhere and is a fun look if you're ever in the Bay Area What are the odds?

Also if you're over on our coast, there is a gorgeous historic estate called Filoli that is known for its fantastic gardens. The house is nice but I LOVE the gardens. Full disclosure, I did work there briefly but I still love going back to visit.
http://filoli.org/
The Neue Galerie and the Cooper-Hewitt in NYC. Both gorgeous, but especially the Neue.
Here in Southern California, the Huntington Library and Gardens spring to mind, as does the infamous Hearst Castle in San Simeon. Also, please do check out the Barnes Foundation near Philadelphia, as someone else suggested...it is my understanding that the collection will be moving out of the private home in the near future.
