    Thank you so much for sharing. I will likely not be able to see the exhibit in person, but this little glimpse has truly inspired me. Some of the pieces, & the skill involved in their creation, took my breath away!
  • Fabulous! This deserves to be a full length documentary so that everyone can experience the wealth of this collection.
  • Andrew Bolton's voice is soothing to hear. It's nice that the gentleman himself narrates the presentation.

    I won't get a chance to see the exhibit, so thank you very much for this YouTube video. Sounds magnificent.

    Mr Andrew Bolton is certainly the most impressive museum curator on earth!
    His visionary work is truly magnificent.
    The amount of research he does for every exhibition is beyond belief.
    What a talent!

    thank you Andrew for the great personal tour of the exhibit!
  • There are a few places in our world's timeline which i sincerely wish i could be present. This exhibition is one of those times. Garments and fheir curstion is something which is very close to my heart. I still have my grandmother's wedding sari from 1940 amongst other things. I convey my heartfelt regards and thanks to the MET and Mr. Bolton for this insightful and amazing video. Best wishes and congratulations for the successful exhibition. Love from India.
