Metropolitan Museum of Art Cancels John Galliano Exhibition Following Controversy

The Metropolitan Museum of Art has announced the cancellation of its planned exhibition on fashion designer John Galliano, which was slated to coincide with the 2027 Met Gala. The decision comes after significant backlash regarding Galliano's past antisemitic remarks. Galliano was dismissed from his role as creative director of Christian Dior in 2011 and subsequently found guilty of antisemitic behavior by a French court. The exhibition, titled 'John Galliano: Horizons,' was intended to open in May 2027 at The Met's Costume Institute. Both the museum and Galliano released statements confirming the mutual decision to cancel the event. Galliano expressed regret for the pain caused by his past words, particularly to the Jewish and Asian communities, acknowledging that atonement requires ongoing responsibility rather than a single public gesture or institutional recognition. New York City Council Speaker Julie Menin, daughter of a Holocaust survivor, was among those who voiced strong opposition to the exhibiti...

This deliberation comes amidst intensified criticism from donors, city officials, and Jewish leaders regarding the decision to honor fashion designer John Galliano. Galliano was convicted by a French court in 2011 for making antisemitic remarks in public. The gala is traditionally held on the first Monday in May, which in 2027 falls directly on Yom HaShoah. Vogue magazine, the event's de facto publication of record, still listed May 3 as the gala date as of August 29. According to Deadline, Met trustees and board members have been considering shifting the event by one week. Anna Wintour, Vogue's global editorial director and a Met trustee, reportedly met with prominent rabbis and Jewish leaders in New York City over the past year to address concerns about building the gala's theme around Galliano's work, but these con...
