Taylor Swift fans flock to German museum to see Ophelia painting

Taylor Swift fans are driving a surge in popularity of a German museum exhibiting a portrait of the Shakespeare character Ophelia, recently reimagined in a song and music video from Swift’s new album The Life of a Showgirl.

Museum Wiesbaden, in the central German state of Hessen, saw hundreds more visitors than usual over the weekend, as fans hoped to see the real version of the painting that opens the music video for The Fate of Ophelia.
