The annual report detailing visitor statistics for museums across the world, realized by The Art Newspaper has been published. Notably, private foundations have seen particular success this year: The Foundation Vuitton in Paris welcomed 1 million visitors, The Garage Museum Moscow 538,000 and 1.6 million at the Museo Soumaya in Mexico. Unsurprisingly the Louvre was at the top of the scale, despite a slight drop in frequentation, whilst elsewhere in the top 10 most visited museums the State Hermitage Museum gained 4 places and is now the 9th most frequented museum in the world.
