Busy weekend at the MoMA/NG

From the Frankfurter Rundschau, a quick report on the early success of the MoMA guest show in Berlin:

Die "MoMA"Ausstellung in Berlin hat an den ersten beiden Tagen schon rund 11000 Besucher in die Neue Nationalgalerie gelockt. Allein am Samstag kamen nach Angaben der Veranstalter knapp 6000 Kunstinteressierte. Für Sonntag wurde mit einer ähnlich hohen Besucherzahl gerechnet.

11 thousand in two days. Holy smokes. Why on earth are all those people crushing into the galleries? It's going to be there for more than half a year...
Ammend.: ok, having read more at the Berliner Zeitung, I see that they're only letting 1000 people into the gallery at once. Sounds reasonable. And with the Wurst-man coming by every so often, I suppose even the 2-hour wait isn't so bad. Bring a thermos of coffee and some mittens.
