An exhibition of late fashion genius Alexander McQueen's work at the Metropolitan Museum of Art has wowed New Yorkers — so much so that the Met plans to stay open until midnight for the first time in its history on the final days of the show.
The Manhattan museum cited "unprecedented interest in this landmark retrospective" as the reason for extending hours Saturday and Sunday for "Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty." The show has attracted about half a million visitors since it opened May 4 and had already been extended by a week, a museum statement says.
