The State of Victoria has declined to reveal how much it paid to host the "Les Miserables: From Page To Stage" exhibition in 2014. State Library Board president John Wiley concedes that the number of visitors was below expectations. It was the first time the library had charged an entry fee for an exhibition. It attracted some 25,000 visitors, although more than 83,000 people viewed the library’s previous exhibition in 2013
