The Met\u2019s 2026 Exhibition Theme Is Costume Art<\/strong>
\nCostume Art<\/em> will be the theme of The Costume Institute\u2019s 2026 exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, a show that explores how fashion and art frame the human body. The exhibition will also inaugurate the nearly 12,000-square-foot Cond\u00e9 Nast Galleries, adjacent to The Met\u2019s Great Hall, which is set to become the permanent home for future Costume Institute presentations. Curator in Charge Andrew Bolton<\/a> explains, \u201cWhat connects every curatorial department and what connects every single gallery in the museum is fashion, or the dressed body. It\u2019s the common thread throughout the whole museum. I know that we\u2019ve often been seen as the stepchild, but, in fact, the dressed body is front and center in every gallery you come across. Even the nude is never naked.\u201d To highlight these connections, the exhibition will pair garments with artistic representations of the body: an ensemble by Rei Kawakubo from Comme des Gar\u00e7ons\u2019 F\/W 2017 collection will be shown alongside La Poup\u00e9e, a gelatin silver print by surrealist artist Hans Bellmer; meanwhile, an anatomically drawn bodysuit from Walter Van Beirendonck\u2019s F\/W 2009 collection will be displayed with Albrecht D\u00fcrer\u2019s 1504 engraving Adam and Eve<\/em>. Mannequins cast from real bodies will play a more prominent role, bringing the garments to life. Artist Samar Hejazi has also been commissioned to design mirrored heads for the forms. The exhibition will run from May 10, 2026, to January 10, 2027. The Met Gala theme has not yet been announced, but is expected to draw inspiration from the exhibition\u2019s concept.
