In the 86th Street with 5 avenue there is one of the most famous museums in New York, the Metropolitan Museum of Art as known as MET.
This Museum has amazing exhibitions and is the largest art museum in the United States. The MET has art pieces from classical antiquity and Ancient Egypt, paintings and sculptures from nearly all the European masters, and an extensive collection of American and modern art.
In the temporal exhibitions spot, right now there is one called “China through the looking glass”. It is an amazing exhibition where you can see how the Chinese culture influenced fashion through the time and it became as an inspiration reference around the world.
The exhibition features more than 140 examples of haute couture and avant-garde ready-to-wear alongside Chinese art. There are amazing art dresses by Valentino, Channel, Yves Saint Laurent, Dior, Cavalli or Tom Ford. Around three galleries of the museum; Chinese Galleries, Egyptian Galleries and the Anna Wintour Costume Center you can submerge in a bubble and feel like you are travelling through the time. The music, decoration, projections, and distribution make you lose track of time.
If you have a chance you can’t miss the oportunity to enjoy the art in all the ways, because fashion is an art too. Remember that and visit the museums!!
