In case you haven't heard, the Alexander McQueen exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art is drawing huge crowds in a way that is unprecedented even for the Met. It opened in May and already over 225,000 visitors have seen it. That number means that it has been constantly crowded and that on some days the wait to get in is over an hour (reportedly close to two hours on Memorial Day). Sure the show is visually stunning, and recognition of the McQueen name probably got a huge boost from the royal wedding, but what can possibly explain the massive public enthusiasm?
Wait a minute... what is this on page 239 of the exhibition catalog?
Me! The reason for the show's success is me! I did it!!
If you can't read the tiny font, make sure to click on it to see it in its larger glory. Or blow it up and print it out on a giant piece of paper that you can roll around on. I certainly did.
