Iris van Herpen’s North American debut, Sculpting the Senses, opens at the Brooklyn Museum on May 16, 2026, bringing more than 140 couture works into dialogue with design and scientific artifacts. Drawing on biomimicry, fractal geometry, and neuroscience, Van Herpen transforms cutting-edge research into sculptural gowns and ethereal fabrics — sequenced through galleries that move from aquatic environments toward cosmic scales.
