Updated 5:06 PM / May 5, 2025 The Met Gala is held annually at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The museum dates back to the 19th century and is home to more than a dozen different collections featuring tens of thousands of pieces.
The Met originally opened to the public in April 1870. It occupies two million square feet between 80th and 84th streets on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan’s Upper East Side.
The Met Gala is actually a fundraiser for the museum’s Costume Institute. The event started out in 1948 as a supper club called “The Costume Institute Benefit.”
Since 1999, the guest list has been controlled by Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour. Under her leadership, the event has raised nearly $250 million.
The museum CEO announced Monday this year’s gala has already raised a record $31 million.
