Marilyn Monroe Exhibition Draws 5,159 Visitors in Andorra

The Centre d'Art d'Escaldes-Engordany (CAEE) has closed its exhibition Celebrant Marilyn 1926-2026 on a high note, attracting 5,159 visitors over three months. Local officials described the turnout as a strong success, reflecting broad appeal among Andorran residents and tourists alike.

Dedicated to the iconic American actress and 20th-century pop culture figure Marilyn Monroe, the show drew a diverse crowd. Residents made up 55% of attendees, highlighting significant local interest. Tourists accounted for the remaining 45%, primarily from Spain (29%), France (9%), and other countries (7%).

Visitor demographics skewed toward adults, with 75% aged over 25. Children and youths up to 14 years old comprised 17%, while the 14-25 age group represented 8%. Notably, 57% of visits occurred individually, suggesting many people came on their own initiative rather than as part of organised groups.

Comú representatives expressed satisfaction with the results, viewing the figures as confirmation of a smart choice in featuring Monroe's legacy. They emphasised that the exhibition reinforces the CAEE's status as a leading cultural venue in Andorra, capable of delivering high-quality displays that engage both locals and visitors while enhancing the Principat's cultural offerings.
