New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art has announced plans to convert its centrally located gift shop off the Great Hall into a new gallery space dedicated to its Costume Institute, with a $50 million fundraising goal and an expected opening in 2026. The 11,500-square-foot space will replace the current Anna Wintour Costume Center, offering a more prominent location for the institute's annual blockbuster exhibitions, such as this year's "Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty." Anna Wintour, Condé Nast global editorial director and Vogue editor, will lead fundraising for the project, which also includes reconfiguring ground-floor dining and retail spaces and opening a new public entrance at East 83rd Street and Fifth Avenue.
