The Costume Institute\u2019s spring 2026 exhibition explores depictions of the dressed body across The Met\u2019s vast collection, pairing garments with artworks to reveal the inherent relationship between clothing and the body.<\/p>\n
Focusing primarily on Western art from prehistory to the present,\u00a0Costume Art<\/em>\u00a0presents connections between\u00a0garments from The Costume Institute and objects from\u00a0the\u00a0Museum\u2019s other collecting areas. Pairings between fashions and artworks will present a spectrum of connections and experiences: from the formal to the conceptual, the aesthetic to the political, the individual to the universal, the illustrative to the symbolic, and the playful to the profound. These pairings are organized into a series of thematic body types that reflect their pervasiveness and endurance through time and cultures.<\/p>\n Costume Art<\/em>\u00a0is the\u00a0inaugural\u00a0exhibition in the\u00a0new,\u00a0nearly 12,000-square-foot Galleries adjacent to the Great Hall.\u00a0This space\u00a0will display The Costume Institute\u2019s annual spring show\u00a0and,\u00a0at times, shows from the Museum\u2019s other curatorial departments, including those that explore the intersection of fashion and art.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Costume Institute\u2019s spring 2026 exhibition explores depictions of the dressed body across The Met\u2019s vast collection, pairing
