New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art has canceled a major exhibition honoring fashion designer John Galliano after Jewish leaders raised serious concerns. Galliano was convicted in France after making antisemitic comments and declaring his love for H!tler.
The museum listened and canceled the exhibition, which was planned for 2027. The decision is a clear victory for Jewish leaders who argued that one of the world’s most respected museums should not celebrate someone with such a disturbing antisemitic past.
