Time Out says

Fashion lovers, make time for this one: this special exhibition is only here until the end of the month, and features two gowns Oscar-nominated actor Lily Gladstone wore to last year's Academy Awards when they were nominated for the Best Actress in a Leading Role for "Killers of the Flower Moon." The first Native American actor to be nominated for the award, Gladstone tapped Gucci and Indigenous artist Joe Big Mountain to design two custom looks that celebrate their heritage and utilitize porcupine quillwork, an art tradition unique to North America. This exhibit will go deep into this beautiful art.

The museum is also hosting some special talks and events to celebrate, including a talk with Big Mountain and celebrity stylist Jason Rembert (March 14), plus a fashion showcase of works by Indigenous designers that visitors can shop (March 15).
