The 2014 Guggenheim International Gala to have Dior, Moët Hennessy, The XX and much more

Tickets on sale now. I’m talking about the tickets to the Dior & Guggenheim International Gala. And just thought you should know this before I proceed with what I’m about to discuss. This year’s edition is all set to spread over two days and see the return of Dior and Moët Hennessy as sponsors. And while that means the patronage of the Maison Dior and wines and champagne by Moët Hennessy at the open bar, the two day event will also see The XX perform at the pre-party on 5th November.

The music event with the English indie pop band was made possible by Dior for the 2014 Guggenheim International Gala, which will begin on November 5 in the Guggenheim rotunda. To be held from 9pm to midnight and be hosted by the museum’s Young Collector’s Council (YCC) it will be the musical prelude to the benefit dinner on the day after.
