Met Museum cancels John Galliano exhibit over backlash from antisemitic comments

In New York, the Metropolitan Museum of Art has canceled a planned exhibit for fashion designer John Galliano, originally set for the 2027 Met Gala. This decision follows backlash from the Jewish community due to Galliano's history of antisemitic remarks made in 2010 and 2011. Galliano expressed regret for the pain caused by his words, and the museum plans to replace the exhibit with another show.
