Met Museum Cancels John Galliano Exhibit Amid Backlash

The Metropolitan Museum of Art has canceled its planned retrospective exhibition on fashion designer John Galliano, which was also set to be the theme for the 2027 Met Gala. The decision comes after significant backlash concerning Galliano's past antisemitic remarks.

The cancellation marks the end of a controversial chapter for the museum's Costume Institute. The exhibition's withdrawal follows a month after the initial announcement, highlighting the sensitive nature of celebrating a designer with a history of public controversy.
