CLEVELAND, Ohio - Attendance boosted by the popular Yayoi Kusama "Infinity Mirrors" exhibition and the FRONT International: Cleveland Triennial for Contemporary Art this year helped the Cleveland Museum of Art break a 26-year record for the number of visitors attracted in any single summer.
Between July 1 and September 30, the museum said it attracted 305,692 visitors, the largest summer total in the institution's 102-year history, and the largest since the same period in 1992, when the exhibition "Egypt's Dazzling Sun: Amenhotep III," helped the museum pull in 290,000 visitors.
