The first lady will speak at the press launch of the exhibition, part of the museum's Costume Institute, during the late morning, the White House said.

Diana M. Montalvo, a Library and Collections intern at The Costume Institute, will introduce the first lady ahead of her remarks.

Afterwards, Biden will tour the exhibition with Met Museum interns, as well as Andrew Bolton, the Wendy Yu Curator in Charge of The Costume Institute, and Sylvia Yount, the Lawrence A. Fleischman Curator in Charge of The American Wing.

The first lady will not attend the Met Gala. She and the president are slated to host a reception in celebration of Eid al-Fitr at the White House later in the afternoon.

“It is an exceptional honor and a privilege to welcome the First Lady of the United States Dr. Jill Biden to The Metropolitan Museum of Art,” said Daniel H. Weiss, the president and CEO of the Met. "We look forward to recognizing together the powerful ways in which art can teach us about our past, connect us to the present, and inspire a vision for the future."

The exhibition will open to the public on Saturday, May 7.
