Met Stories: Looking Back to Look Forward

Tim Gunn, Silas Farley, and Stephanie Post share their Met Stories.

Watch episode one of Met Stories in which Met image archivist Stephanie Post time travels through the archives of The Met’s photographic history, educator and former-Project Runway host Tim Gunn sees fashion history in art at The Met, and New York City Ballet dancer Silas Farley uses art as inspiration for dance.

As part of The Met’s 150th anniversary, Met Stories is a new video series and year-long social media initiative that shares unexpected and compelling stories gathered from the many people who visit The Met, whether artists, teachers, curators, actors, museum staff, designers, thought-leaders, or public figures.
