The Metropolitan Museum of Art Announces Ambitious Slate of Exhibitions and Special Installations Through Spring 2025
The Metropolitan Museum of Art announced today its upcoming exhibition schedule, through May 2025. The dynamic lineup includes over a dozen new exhibitions and introduces audiences to impressive loans and new ways to engage with the Museum’s collection displays.
“The remarkable array of exhibitions in our upcoming season reflects The Met’s unparalleled commitment to presenting art from across time and around the globe in compelling and innovative displays,” said Max Hollein, The Met’s Marina Kellen French Director and Chief Executive Officer. “We are excited to welcome audiences to these truly extraordinary shows and collection displays this spring.”
Highlights of the ambitious season include Caspar David Friedrich: The Soul of Nature (opening February 8), presented in honor of the 250th anniversary of Friedrich’s birth in 2024 and the first comprehensive exhibition in the United States dedicated to the artist, whose paintings ushered in a radical new understanding of the bond between nature and the inner self; and Sargent and Paris (opening April 27), an in-depth look at the artist’s early, decade-long practice in 19th-century France that culminated in the iconic Madame X, a beloved highlight of The Met collection. On May 10, the Museum will unveil the Costume Institute’s spring 2025 exhibition, Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, a cultural and historical examination of the Black dandy from the 1700s to present day, and on May 19, it will open Lorna Simpson: Source Notes, the first exhibition to consider the entirety of the artist’s painting practice to date, highlighting how her work explores gender, race, identity, representation, and history.

brand-new private museum to its ranks – PoMo, short for Post Office Modern. Its mission is to make art more accessible, challenge gender inequality in collections, and boost the region’s cultural scene.
Set in an Art Nouveau building that used to serve as the city’s post office, PoMo spans five floors and 4,000 square metres. The space is a product of the vision and personal art collection of Monica Reitan and Ole Robert Reitan, who’ve spent over two decades collecting works from artists like Simone Leigh, Louise Bourgeois, Anne Imhof, and Franz West.
