    Thank you so much for sharing. I will likely not be able to see the exhibit in person, but this little glimpse has truly inspired me. Some of the pieces, & the skill involved in their creation, took my breath away!
  • @AJY6396
    petition for the MET to create a yearly cinematic documentary of their annual exhibition including the most notable behind the scenes from the history, creation and staging of the exhibition, the creative ideas and just about everything.
  • @jmk9007
    I could listen to Andrew Bolton all day, what a well spoken gentleman
  • @ellenshepard2351
    Fabulous! This deserves to be a full length documentary so that everyone can experience the wealth of this collection.
  • @garssympa500
    I won't get a chance to see the exhibit, so thank you very much for this YouTube video. Sounds magnificent.
  • @breznevolaso4090
    Andrew Bolton's voice is soothing to hear. It's nice that the gentleman himself narrates the presentation.
  • @luizfloripa222
    Mr Andrew Bolton is certainly the most impressive museum curator on earth! His visionary work is truly magnificent. The amount of research he does for every exhibition is beyond belief. What a talent!
  • @natashapbooks
    be ready for a 2-hour wait in line but it's absolutely worth it, will be visiting again soon
  • @otisberlin
    Thank you Mr. Bolton for treating fashion with the respect and erudition it deserves.
  • @ahamilton4021
    I feel like this video should have been showed to all of the attendees to help them understand the assignment... appreciate the complex curation and inclusion of all the senses in this exhibit. Thank you for the in depth look.
  • @jayment3634
    Videos like this need to be released before the Met Gala.
  • @jodirauth8847
    My frail body could never endure the long wait to visit the museum. Having this video on you tube provides a wonderful ability for those like me, to experience this exhibit in some small way.
  • @sarahwatts7152
    This video of the exhibit seems more comprehensive than other years, I really appreciate that
  • @user-bd5mh7wh2g

    What an extraordinary exhibition, I wish I could see it in person.
  • @rocki_bb
    Thank you so much for this video. I can't really find the words to express it adequately, but this exhibit moved me deeply. I'll probably regret not being able to experience this exhibit in person for the rest of my life. I appreciate the opportunity to see it.
