World's Most Popular Exhibition

The world's most popular art event last year was Treasures of a Sacred Mountain at the Tokyo National Museum, which was seen by 7,638 visitors a day. British exhibitions were more intimate affairs. Only one London art exhibition made it into the global top 20 - Tate Modern's Edward Hopper retrospective which attracted 4,215 people a day. El Greco was the UK's second most popular show with 2,126 visitors a day during its run at the National Gallery between February and May. However, the same art exhibition attracted 6,897 a day when staged at New York's Museum of Metropolitan Art. For the full story - click the title Irish Art
