Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination

Watch a video preview of the exhibition Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination, on view at The Met Fifth Avenue and The Met Cloisters from May 10 through October 8, 2018. Featuring Andrew Bolton, Curator in Charge, The Costume Institute The Costume Institute's spring 2018 exhibition will feature a dialogue between fashion and medieval art from The Met collection to examine fashion's ongoing engagement with the devotional practices and traditions of Catholicism. Serving as the cornerstone of the exhibition, papal robes and accessories from the Sistine Chapel sacristy, many of which have never been seen outside The Vatican, will be on view in the Anna Wintour Costume Center. Fashions from the early 20th century to the present will be shown in the Byzantine and medieval galleries, part of the Robert Lehman Wing, and at The Met Cloisters. #MetHeavenlyBodies Credits Director: Kate Farrell Producer: Melissa Bell Editor: Sarah Cowan Cameras: Dia Felix, Stephanie Wuertz Lighting: Ned Hallick Production Coordinator: Kaelan Burkett Production Assistant: Bryan Martin Original Music: Austin Fisher Time-lapse Photography: Thomas Ling Digital Composite Scans: Katerina Jebb © 2018 The Metropolitan Museum of Art
