LA MOCA Sets Attendance Records with "Art in the Streets"

The Metropolitan Museum of Art, with its “Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty,” apparently aren’t the only ones setting new attendance records for themselves. The Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art has announced that its extremely popular and often controversial “Art in the Streets” exhibition of graffiti and otherwise inclined street artists, has set a new record for most-attended exhibit in the museum’s history (pdf). During its run from mid-April through to August 8th, a total of 201,352 visitors reportedly saw the show, with a daily average attendance of nearly 2,500 people.
