The Museum at FIT
The Museum at FIT (MFIT), accredited by the American Alliance of Museums, is one of a select group of specialized
fashion museums, including the Musée de la Mode, the Mode Museum, and the Museo de
la Moda. For the 100,000 people who visit The Museum at FIT each year, the Museum
works to create exhibitions, programs, and publications that are both entertaining
and educational. The mission of the Museum is to educate and inspire diverse audiences
with innovative exhibitions and projects 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.
