The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty exhibition came to an end last night, but it has already considered one of the Met's top exhibitions.

This puts Savage Beauty among the ranks of other historic blockbusters at the Met, including the Tutankhamen (1987), Mona Lisa (1963) and Picasso (2010) exhibitions. The show is the eight most popular exhibition ever to be held at the Met, and is the most visited show ever organized by The Costume Institute since it joined the Met in 1946.

Thomas P. Campbell, Director and CEO of the Met said in a press release,

“We are enormously gratified that visitors turned out in record numbers to view this powerful exhibition of McQueen’s work. The show was an elegant tribute to the designer's artistry, and we are proud to have shared it with such a broad audience, eager to experience the breadth of his genius.”
