The Met awakens all senses with its 'Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion' exhibit
New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art revealed its 2024 Costume Institute exhibition "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” on Monday (May 6) morning, ahead of its annual a-list gala.
This interactive exhibit will take visitors on a sensory journey, exploring the rich history of fashion through an experiential lens that transcends visual appreciation.
“Once a garment comes into the Met's collection, all of that is diminished. You can't touch anymore. You can't smell it, you can’t hear it, you can't wear it. So, the idea - so all you are left with is a sense of sight, really. So, the idea was really to just sort of bring back these sensorial qualities of fashion that is part of its living art form. So that was really the idea behind it,” said Andrew Bolton, the curator in charge at the museum.
Throughout the space, technology is used to activate visitor’s five senses. Artificial intelligence, computer-generated imagery, x-rays, video animation, light projection, and soundscapes, the exhibit

So you're a second rate.
02:00.0
This idea of rebirth and renewal, but also these ideas of ephemerality and impermanence or transience.
02:06.7
So in a way, fashion became this sort of like unifying thread throughout the exhibition
02:10.8
and also had this bigger message about fashion in general.
02:13.3
Thank you very much.
02:20.5
Hello, where are you?
02:22.0
She told me I'm here.
02:24.7
Oh, you're there now?
02:26.8
What number are you?
02:30.0
Oh, we can still hear you.
02:35.2
So if you can hear us, we can still hear you.
02:38.4
I can't smell you.
02:42.9
Once a garment comes into the Met's collection, all of that is diminished.
02:55.1
You can't touch it anymore, you can't smell it, you can't hear it, you can't wear it.
02:58.4
So the idea, so all you're left with,
03:00.0
is a sense of sight, really.
03:01.9
So the idea was really to just sort of bring back
03:04.6
these sensorial qualities of fashion that is part of its living art form.
03:09.7
So that was really the idea behind it.
03:30.3
So like I said, the first line would come in
03:47.1
show love to people's heart.
03:53.2
And that is what makes it würde cr****.
03:56.9
Isn't that so cool?
03:57.4
Isn't that so cool?
03:57.7
Isn't that so cool?
03:58.2
Isn't this crazy?
03:58.9
Yeah, this song, I'm tabs.
03:59.2
I don't know what part of it.
03:59.5
You always say it like that.
03:59.6
I bet we play with the piano, like, you play with it.
04:00.0
The themes just emerge.
04:14.3
So you look at it day in, day out,
04:17.1
hour in, hour out,
04:18.4
and suddenly, it's like that matrix,
04:20.4
the film The Matrix, where it suddenly makes sense.
04:23.5
And that's really what
04:24.3
my process is. I sort of look and look
04:26.6
and look, and then these themes just emerge.
04:28.7
So I really let the objects select
04:30.4
themselves in a way.
05:28.7
Thank you for watching!
05:58.7
Thank you for watching!
