The Venice Biennale, a major contemporary art fair that takes place every two years, has welcomed its 400,000th visitor, marking a major attendance milestone for the event, which is in its 55th year. The fair’s turnout was up 18% from its last iteration in 2011. The Biennale still has until November 24 to rack up new attendance.
In addition to the particularly high visitor numbers, this year’s Venice Biennale set a single-day attendance record on November 2 when 7,331 people made their rounds at Venice’s Giardini and Arsenale, where the fair is held.
