#8 Going to see an exhibition? Know it before you go!

I want to continue writing about my experience last week at the Met. As someone who likes art and has an appreciation for it, I like visiting the Met whenever I am in New York City. Although it was a short trip, I felt that it won’t complete my trip unless I go to the Met.

Before visiting the Met, I casually browsed its website to see if there is anything that interests me. I found about the Schiaparelli and Prada exhibition, however it didn’t seem that curious to me since I'm not really into the history of fashion, nor I know much about it. I know Prada through her labels “Prada” and “Miu Miu,” however, I’ve never heard of Schiaparelli. I still decided to take a look at the show recalling last year’s most-talked about Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty. I was impressed by the ingenious works by McQueen, as well as the theatrical presentation of the exhibition design and the exhibition itself organized by the curators of the Costumes Institute.
