Art Exhibitions & Museums Garner Little Interest?

Today is World Art Day, a day dedicated to promoting the development and enjoyment of art. According to UNESCO, "art nurtures creativity, innovation and cultural diversity for all peoples across the globe and plays an important role in sharing knowledge and encouraging curiosity and dialogue."

According to data from a Statista Consumer Insights survey, a fairly low share of the population bought tickets to museums or art exhibitions in the past 12 months. Of the countries selected for this chart, China had the highest share of respondents having purchased entrance tickets at 16 percent of online respondents, followed by India (15 percent) and Italy (14 percent). Countries such as Germany and Brazil had even lower shares at just 6 percent and 7 percent, respectively.
