A Sneak Peak Inside “Costume Art” at the Metropolitan Museum of Art
The Metropolitan Museum of Art is set to open the Condé M. Nast Galleries, a new permanent home for the Costume Institute located in prime real estate adjacent to the Great Hall. The inaugural exhibition, "Costume Art," will integrate fashion with artworks from 19 of the museum’s collecting areas, featuring pieces by designers like Tory Burch and Michael Kors alongside works by artists such as Jean Arp. This move transitions the Costume Institute from its traditional basement location to the center of the museum's physical and narrative layout.
