The China Through The Looking Glass exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of art has been making waves ever since Kim Kardashian wore a see-through suggestion of a dress to the Met Gala at the opening of the exhibit. It’s a beautiful exhibit and has attracted a lot of people to the galleries. No wonder it was crowded when we went!
One of the things I really liked about the exhibit was the way that the fine art and the fashions have been juxtaposed, a bit of interplay that I suspect took many planning meetings.
It’s a large exhibit, covering a number of rooms and settings, not confined to the basement like the Costume Institute exhibits usually are!
The exhibit has been extended through September 7, 2015. If you are anywhere near NYC, you still have time to get there!
