In 2012, the museum presented "Schiaparelli & Prada: Impossible Conversations," which explored the aesthetic similarities between designers Elsa Schiaparelli and Miuccia Prada. For the gala dinner, held in the museum's Temple of Dendur, the chairs were upholstered with many of Prada's popular prints and were complemented by bright poppies and anemones on the tables, creating a whimsical feel that mimicked both women's fashion sensibilities.
