The Costume Institute Benefit (also known as The Met Gala®) / May 6
Met Gala Exhibition Dates: / May 10 – September 2

Deets: The Costume Institute’s spring 2024 exhibition, Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion will be presented at The Met Fifth Avenue from May 10 through September 2, 2024. The exhibition will feature original research, conservation analysis, and diverse technologies to revive and explore the sensory capacities of masterworks in the Museum’s collection. Using the natural world as a uniting visual metaphor for the transience of fashion, the show will explore cyclical themes of rebirth and renewal, breathing new life into these storied objects through creative and immersive activations designed to convey the smells, sounds, textures, and motions of garments that can no longer directly interact with the body.  

In celebration of the exhibition opening, The Costume Institute Benefit (also known as The Met Gala®) will take place on Monday, May 6, 2024. The Benefit provides the department with its primary source of annual funding for exhibitions, publications, acquisitions, operations, and capital improvements.

Bad Bunny, Chris Hemsworth, Jennifer Lopez, and Zendaya are the 2024 Met Gala Co-Chairs.

The exhibition and benefit are made possible by TikTok.

Support is provided by Loewe.

Additional support is provided by Condé Nast.
