Have you ever dreamt of receiving an invitation to the illustrious Met Gala? Well, this year, Museum Hack has crafted an imaginative alternative that's open to everyonewelcome to the Hacked Gala!

On April 17, 2025, Museum Hack officially announced the Hacked Gala, a unique fundraising tour taking place at the iconic Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. This event is inspired by the 2025 Met Gala theme, Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, and promises to offer attendees a blend of glamour, culture, and meaningful contributions to a vital cause. This extravagant museum tour invites guests to dress to the nines and embark on a renegade adventure through The Met, where they can enjoy wine and delve into the stories of individuals who have challenged societal norms and redefined self-expression through art and fashion.

During the Hacked Gala, attendees will:

  • Stroll through the same halls that celebrities grace on Met Gala night.
  • Listen to captivating tales that intertwine art, fashion, identity, and change.
  • Take professional-grade photographs (available exclusively for VIP tours).
  • Savor a glass of wine within the museum's walls (VIP guests only).

Moreover, attendees will be making a significant impact with their attendance, as 100% of ticket sales (excluding museum admission fees) will be directed to The Fashion and Race Database, a nonprofit organization based in New York City that is devoted to eradicating racism within the fashion industry.

Museum Hack is offering two distinct options for the Hacked Gala:

  • VIP Evening Tour Priced at $150 per ticket, this glamorous experience includes a two-hour guided tour, one glass of wine per person, and the opportunity for pro photographs.
  • Casual Afternoon Tour This option operates on a pay-what-you-wish donation model, with a minimum contribution of $25 for museum admission. Attendees can dress casually and enjoy a 90-minute tour.

The Hacked Gala is a limited-run event, featuring small group tours available on select Saturdays throughout May. Corporate and family groups are encouraged to reach out to Museum Hack to inquire about private tour experiences.

In these uncertain times, the Hacked Gala offers a chance to dress up, enjoy a drink, and be inspired by stories of historical figures who have made their mark on the world, demonstrating that creativity is often an act of resilience and hope.
