PUNK: Chaos to Couture
Through August 14, 2013
Explore punk’s impact on high fashion from the movement’s birth in the early 1970s through its continuing influence today. Featuring some 100 designs for men and women, the exhibition includes original punk garments and recent fashions by such designers as Dolce and Gabbana, Chanel, Alexander McQueen, Versace, and many more.
The exhibition is made possible by Moda Operandi.

Photography and the American Civil War
Through September 2, 2013
More than 200 of the finest and most poignant photographs of the American Civil War have been brought together for this landmark exhibition. Through examples drawn from the Metropolitan’s celebrated holdings, complemented by important loans from public and private collections, Photography and the American Civil War examines the evolving role of the camera during the nation’s bloodiest war. The "War between the States" was the great test of the young Republic’s commitment to its founding precepts; it was also a watershed in photographic history. The camera recorded from beginning to end the heartbreaking narrative of the epic four-year war in which 750,000 lives were lost.
Made possible by The Horace W. Goldsmith Foundation.
