YonhapAn exhibition of British artist Damien Hirst's works at the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Seoul drew 541,889 visitors, the museum said Monday. The show, titled "Damien Hirst: Nothing is True But Everything Is Possible," ran at the museum's Seoul branch from March 20 to June 28.
It averaged 5,645 visitors per day and included roughly 50 pieces from across 40 years of the artist's career.
Among the works on display were "For the Love of God," a platinum cast of a human skull encrusted with diamonds, and pieces from the "Natural History" series that preserve real animals in tanks of formaldehyde. The exhibition was Hirst's first solo show in Asia. Visitors in their 20s and 30s made up 62 percent of attendance.
Teen visitors reached 12 percent of the total, nearly double the average share for MMCA exhibitions. Foreign visitors accounted for 6.5 percent. The museum recorded a 3.3-fold increase in new members during the run.
Yonhap reported that the MMCA described the exhibition as an opportunity for the public to engage with Hirst's works and said it would continue to present shows by contemporary masters from South Korea and abroad. Hirst posed for photos at a press conference at the MMCA in Seoul on March 18.
