The interactive Da Vinci Genius exhibition, which opened in April, has already attracted over 70,000 visitors to the TLN block in Telliskivi, Tallinn. According to the organisers, one-third of the visitors have been Finnish. Interest has been so high that some of them have visited the exhibition more than once.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur major exhibitions strongly motivate our northern neighbours to return to Tallinn,\u201d says Linnar Viik<\/b>, the exhibition organiser and director of the PoCo Museum.<\/p>\n
Of the visitors, 60 percent have been Estonian, 35 percent Finnish, and five percent from other parts of the world. According to Viik, the interest is reminiscent of last year\u2019s Banksy exhibition, which experienced a massive surge in attendance during its final weeks. \u201cAt that time, all the final week\u2019s showings sold out, and those who had traveled from afar were left disappointed at the doors,\u201d Viik emphasises.<\/p>\n
The exhibition continues until the end of October. The final dates coincide with the autumn school holidays both in Estonia and Finland. According to the organisers, this will bring in even more visitors, as many schools have scheduled their visits specifically for the fall. It is therefore recommended to buy tickets in advance.<\/p>\n
