"Fashion fans, mark this one on your calendar: May 2026 won't just bring the return of the December 6 at the arts institution, " Met Gala, one of style's biggest nights, but also the debut of a high-profile new fashion exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum. Opening its doors (or, rather, spreading its kinetic, three-dimensional wings) on Saturday, May 16 and running through Sunday, Iris van Herpen: Sculpting the Senses" will celebrate one of the most forward-thinking designers in the industry, with 140 extraordinary haute-couture creations from the iconic Dutch designer on view alongside contemporary artworks, objets d'art and scientific artifacts."
"RECOMMENDED: The best museum exhibitions in NYC right now The latest fashion exhibit taking over a major NYC cultural institution (with recent style-focused shows at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, at the New-York Historical Society and at the Brooklyn Museum itself, which hosted a popular Dior retrospective back in 2021), the Van Herpen exhibit will serve as first major New York presentation of the designer's work, after premiering at Paris's Musée des Arts Décoratifs in November 2023 and moving onward to Brisbane, Singapore and Rotterdam."
A major Iris van Herpen exhibition opens at the Brooklyn Museum on Saturday, May 16, 2026, and runs through the following Sunday, presenting 140 haute-couture pieces. The show pairs avant-garde, highly sculptural garments with contemporary artworks, objets d'art and scientific artifacts. The designs merge traditional couture artisanship with innovative technologies such as 3D printing and laser cutting, addressing the body's relationship to clothing, space and environment. The exhibition follows premieres at Paris's Musée des Arts Décoratifs in November 2023 and subsequent presentations in Brisbane, Singapore and Rotterdam, marking the first major New York presentation of the designer's work.
