The Met’s blockbuster exhibition Raphael: Sublime Poetry closed its three-month run at The Met Fifth Avenue after welcoming an extraordinary 6,800 visitors per day on average, making it the Museum’s highest-attended exhibition since 2018.
It is also among the Museum’s most visited shows of the past 10 years, behind only two others: Michelangelo: Divine Draftsman and Designer (2017–18), which, like Raphael: Sublime Poetry, was curated by Carmen Bambach, the Marica F. and Jan T. Vilcek Curator in The Met’s Department of Drawings and Prints, and The Costume Institute’s Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination (2018).
