Met lobby signage warning of a 2 hour wait for McQueen show on Sunday

Alexander McQueen’s brilliant posthumous retrospective at the Met continues to draw the crowds. On Sunday, in an effort to beat the heat, I visited the museum and found a two-hour wait to see McQueen’s show. Luckily I had already seen the exhibit in May soon after it opened, and there was plenty else to see. With a touch of line schadenfreude, we took these pics.

The Met recently recently reported that 500,000 visitors have seen the show.
