Met Museum and John Galliano Cancel 2027 Exhibition Amid Controversy
The Metropolitan Museum of Art and designer John Galliano have mutually decided to cancel the planned spring 2027 exhibition, originally titled "John Galliano: Horizons," following reflection on Galliano's past antisemitic and racist remarks, including a 2011 hate crime conviction. Galliano expressed regret for the harm caused to Jewish and Asian communities and emphasized ongoing responsibility beyond a single event. The cancellation also means the 2027 Met Gala will not feature a theme based on Galliano's work, with the museum planning to announce a replacement exhibition.
