\u201cThis powerful exhibition was a testament to the impact of great art and Mia\u2019s mission in action: bringing exceptional art to the public and creating inclusive experiences that resonate across our community,\u201d Mia\u2019s Director and President Katie Luber said. \u201cWe\u2019re proud to have shared this extraordinary collection with our audiences in Minneapolis.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGiants\u201d closed on July 13<\/a> after an 18-week run, attracting a total of 57,134 visitors and surpassing attendance goals by 27%. The show brought in Mia\u2019s most diverse audience for an exhibition, as evidenced by the show\u2019s run and the opening night party<\/a>. <\/p>\n \u201cThis particular contemporary exhibition for us has been one of our largest that we\u2019ve had throughout our history,\u201d Mia\u2019s Head of Marketing and Communications Rob Bedeaux said. \u201cTypically what we\u2019ve seen in the past, European art has always been a super big thing here as well as anything that speaks to Minnesota i.e. like the Vikings, but otherwise European art has been our big exhibition. It was really nice to see a contemporary exhibition do so well for us.\u201d<\/p>\n The total attendance numbers for an exhibition don\u2019t tell the whole story, because exhibition run times vary. <\/p>\n \u201cGiants\u201d was open for 18 weeks, averaging 3,174 visitors per week. While the 2015 exhibition \u201cDelacroix\u2019s Influence: The Rise of Modern Art from Cezanne to van Gogh\u201d technically had more visitors at 58,848, it ran for 51 weeks, averaging 1,154 per week. <\/p>\n That means \u201cGiants\u201d beat Cezanne and van Gogh. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cThis powerful exhibition was a testament to the impact of great art and Mia\u2019s mission in action: bringing…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":94326,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[648,1032,1033,171,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-94325","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-arts-and-design","8":"tag-arts","9":"tag-arts-and-design","10":"tag-design","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-united-states","13":"tag-unitedstates","14":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114920089429348286","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94325","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=94325"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94325\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/94326"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=94325"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=94325"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=94325"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
