Night at the Museum: The First Monday In May

Synopsis: An unprecedented look behind the scenes of two of New York’s premier cultural events, The First Monday In May follows the creation of “China: Through The Looking Glass,” the most attended fashion exhibition in the history of The Costume Institute at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the 2015 Met Gala, the star-studded fundraiser. Follow Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief of Vogue magazine and Met Gala chair, and Andrew Bolton, the curator who conceived the groundbreaking show, as they prepare for an unforgettable evening.

It’s not only a peak inside the making of one of the most celebrated and coveted annual fashion events, but the documentary also explores behind-the-scenes of planning a museum exhibition, while navigating the sensitive topic of cultural appreciation versus appropriation.
