The Metropolitan Museum of Art unveils Sleeping Beauties exhibition spanning four centuries of fashion
In this video, Dezeen previews the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute's latest blockbuster fashion exhibition Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion, following last night's Met Gala.
The exhibition explores the concept of rebirth and renewal in fashion, showcasing the archival and restoration processes that take place behind the scenes of the Met's Costume Institute.
The exhibition brings together historical and contemporary pieces from the museum's archive
The show also uses nature as a visual metaphor to explore ideas around the transience of fashion.
In addition to bringing to life the behind-the-scenes work of fashion conservation, the exhibition also explores the sensory aspects of fashion, with visitors being encouraged to smell aromas of floral motifs, feel the textures of different embroideries, and talk to historical figures through the use of artificial intelligence (AI).

The title of the exhibition is derived from the "sleeping beauties" of the institute's archives ? pieces that are too fragile to be displayed on mannequins. Instead, the exhibition uses AI, animation and X-rays to bring these historical garments to life for visitors.
Approximately 220 garments and accessories spanning four centuries will be on display as part of the show.
