The Met Gala has been hit with a revolting protest as staff discovered bottles of 'urine' inside the venue just hours before fashion's biggest night.

Hundreds of containers of yellow liquid are believed to have been hidden throughout the Metropolitan Museum of Art, next to priceless artifacts.

Backlash over this year's controversial Met Gala has ramped up acrossNew York City, with protests reaching a fever pitch on Monday.

Fury has been growingover the involvement of Amazon billionaireJeff Bezos, 62, and his wifeLauren Sanchez, 56, who have bankrolled much of the event.

In the last 24 hours, activists have employed disgusting maneuvers in a last-ditch attempt at a boycott.

Baskets containing plastic water bottles were also installed outside the museum, urging passersby to urinate in them.

Above the stash, a sign read: 'The Met Gala VIP toilet. Installed in honor of Met Gala chair Jeff Bezos. Go ahead, it's good enough for his staff.'

The stunt was employed in a bid to draw attention to Amazon's treatment of its workers.
