Yayoi Kusama, presented by the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV) across the past four months, has broken the record for highest attended ticketed art exhibition in Australian history.
More than 480,000 people have visited the exhibition, smashing the previous record set by Van Gogh and the Seasons in 2017, also presented by the NGV and attracting 462,262 people. This amounts to over 4000 visitors to Yayoi Kusama every day and the ‘Queen of Polka Dots’ has officially earned her crown in Australian exhibition history.
