The North Carolina Museum of Art announced Tuesday that the recent exhibit of works by Dutch graphic artist M.C. Escher drew 116,565 total visitors in its 14-week run, which is more than any special exhibit held by NCMA since it hosted “Rembrandt in America” in 2011. NCMA director Lawrence J. Wheeler said that the exhibit, which was extended for an extra week due to high demand, exceeded its attendance goals. The Escher exhibit was displayed along with pages from a 500-year-old notebook of Leonardo da Vinci’s.
