Burton exhibition draws 100,000 to ACMI
The Australian Centre for the Moving Image has broken its attendance record, with 100,000 visitors for Tim Burton: The Exhibition since its opening on June 24.
The exhibition has, at this five-week mark, attracted 60 percent more visitors than the previous record holder, Pixar: 20 Years of Animation (2007). It also broke the single biggest day attendance, with 5,300 visitors – compared to 3,600 for Pixar.
“The response from visitors has been incredible; the most resounding response we’ve had to an exhibition in ACMI’s short life and to reach one hundred thousand visitors in only five weeks is really something,” said ACMI Director Tony Sweeney in a statement.
The exhibition was curated by New York’s Museum of Modern Art, where it drew more than 850,000 visitors – making it MoMA’s third most popular exhibition ever.
Tim Burton: The Exhibition will close on October 10.
