Met Museum Cancels John Galliano Exhibition Amid Backlash Over Past Remarks
The Metropolitan Museum of Art and designer John Galliano have jointly cancelled the planned 2027 Costume Institute exhibition, originally set to open alongside the Met Gala. The decision follows widespread backlash over Galliano's past antisemitic and racist remarks, including a 2011 hate crime conviction. Galliano expressed regret and acknowledged the pain caused, stating that meaningful atonement requires ongoing responsibility beyond an exhibition. The Met will announce a replacement exhibition and a new theme for the 2027 Met Gala.
