Which venue hosted the 2021 Met Gala?

The Metropolitan Museum of Art hosted the 2021 Met Gala.

The event took place at the museum in New York City on September 13, 2021, after the 2020 gala was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Its September date was an unusual departure from the gala’s customary first Monday in May.

The 2021 exhibition was “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion,” which examined American fashion through themes such as independence, belonging, and identity. The museum’s Costume Institute Benefit raises money for the Institute and supports its exhibitions, acquisitions, and conservation work.

The gala is commonly associated with the museum’s entrance steps, where arriving guests are photographed. The event is not held at the nearby Museum of Modern Art or at a separate fashion venue.
