The most visited exhibition of 2013 was Mucha's posters

Prague - The exhibition that attracted the most visitors last year was the display of posters by Alphonse Mucha from the collection of tennis player Ivan Lendl, held at the Municipal House. In five months, it was attended by 185,000 visitors. The second most visited was "The Path to Amorpha," a Kupka exhibition at the National Gallery, which almost 49,000 people saw. The third most visited exhibition was the retrospective of Karel Malich at the Riding School of Prague Castle with over 35,000 entries. The data was provided by ČTK and will be published in detail on Friday's February issue of the Art&Antiques magazine.
When calculated on a daily basis, Mucha's exhibition had an average of 1,217 visitors per day, Kupka had 625, and Malich had 360 people per day. The success of the first two exhibitions, which were not organized by gallery institutions and took place in exhibition halls without their own curators, shows a different trend compared to 2012. The most successful exhibitions back then were held at the Central Bohemian Gallery (Europa Jagellonica with 57,000 visitors), the Gallery of Fine Arts in Ostrava (Jan Zrzavý, 24,000), and the Rudolfinum Gallery (So said LaChapelle, 28,000).
An important role in the success of both exhibitions was played by a strong advertising campaign, as well as the story connected with the former tennis player Mucha. For comparison with Malich's exhibition, the attendance of the retrospective of Zdeněk Sýkora at the Gallery of the Capital City of Prague, which attracted almost 13,000 people in 2010, can be mentioned.
The National Gallery in Prague had the highest attendance of any institution as a whole, attracting over 386,000 people in 2013, which was 13 percent less than the previous year. The most visited object became the Trade Fair Palace, which saw about 190,000 visitors, 25,000 more than in 2012. This increase roughly corresponds to the number of visitors who came only to see the Slav Epic, while skipping the NG's permanent exhibits. However, attendance for the Slav Epic was also counted in the results from the year before last.
According to the NG, short-term exhibitions, particularly the retrospectives of Hugo Demartini and Jan Kotík, played an important role. However, the gallery does not count their attendance separately. From an art historical perspective, the most significant event of the NG was the exhibition "Jan Křížek and Artistic Paris of the 1950s," which, however, did not enjoy great audience interest. The flooding in June harmed it, as the Valdštejn Riding School and other gallery objects near the Vltava River were temporarily closed.
The second most visited gallery institution last year was the Olomouc Museum of Art. Thirty exhibitions combined with seven permanent exhibits attracted a total of 203,000 people. The most popular exhibition became the "From Titian to Warhol" project, which in 2013 alone was seen by nearly 22,000 people (294 daily). The Rudolfinum Gallery traditionally reports high attendance. In 2013, it organized five exhibitions, which were visited by 43,000 people. The most popular was the exhibition of Jake and Dinos Chapman with over 15,000 visitors (201 daily). However, this is a significantly smaller number than the highest attended exhibition at Rudolfinum, "Decadence Now!" in 2011 (56,000/700), where the Chapmans also exhibited.
