That means if you didn't already get your reservations in to see the show in its last days, you're out of luck.

The MIA exhibition has far exceeded the museum's attendance goals. The initial projection for the show was 75,000 tickets, but today reached 100,000.

High demand for tickets led the museum to offer extended hours in the final days of the show.

Up next: China's Terracotta Warriors opens at the MIA on October 27.
