Met Gala Could Be Rescheduled Amid Row Among Jewish Community
Trustees are weighing a one-week delay as donors and Jewish leaders press the museum over Galliano’s antisemitic record.
- Metropolitan Museum of Art executives are weighing whether to move the 2027 Met Gala from May 3 to avoid coinciding with Holocaust Remembrance Day, amid intense public backlash over plans to honor designer John Galliano.
- City Council Speaker Julie Menin slammed the selection as a 'serious mistake,' citing Galliano's 2011 hate crime conviction in France and a reported 2019 incident that she said was never investigated.
- Donors have threatened to rescind financial gifts if the exhibition proceeds, while art world titan Arne Glimcher warned, 'I don't think you have considered the cost of this action.'
- Met director Max Hollein stated the institution has 'no tolerance for antisemitism,' while trustees pressured Vogue's global editorial director Anna Wintour and Costume Institute curator Andrew Bolton to distance the gala from the honoree.
- The Costume Institute's planned nine-month exhibition aims to address Galliano's conduct following consultations with Jewish leaders, though the institution continues facing scrutiny over the decision's appropriateness.
