Met Museum Cancels 2027 John Galliano Exhibition Amid Controversy Over Past Remarks
The Metropolitan Museum of Art has cancelled its planned 2027 exhibition honoring British designer John Galliano following widespread criticism of his past antisemitic and racist remarks. Galliano and the museum mutually agreed to withdraw the exhibition after reflection and discussions, with Galliano expressing regret for the harm caused to Jewish and Asian communities. The cancellation also means the 2027 Met Gala will not feature a theme based on Galliano's work. The museum plans to announce a replacement exhibition for spring 2027.
