The Museum at FIT
The Museum at FIT (MFIT) is the only museum in New York City dedicated solely to the art of fashion. Best known for its
innovative and award-winning exhibitions, the museum has a permanent collection of more than 50,000 garments and
accessories dating from the eighteenth century to the present. MFIT is a member of the American Alliance of Museums.
It educates and inspires diverse audiences with innovative exhibitions and programs that advance knowledge
of fashion. Founded in 1969, the Museum was installed in the current building in 1974, and exhibitions began to be presented in 1975. Dr. Valerie Steele has been director of The Museum at FIT since 2003 and chief curator since 1997.
