Galliano Exhibit Shelved as Met Gala Backlash Intensifies
TL;DR Summary
The Metropolitan Museum of Art has canceled the John Galliano: Horizons exhibition planned to launch around the Met Gala after backlash over Galliano’s past hate-crime conviction and remarks; Galliano apologized, saying meaningful atonement is ongoing, while the Met and its leadership supported the decision to avoid hurting communities and to keep focus on the Costume Institute. Opposition from Jewish leaders, donors, and NYC officials contributed to the reconsideration, and the museum said a new spring Costume Institute exhibition and the 2027 Met Gala will be announced later.
