Brooklyn Museum Arts of Africa Galleries Renovation

planned

The Brooklyn Museum is undertaking a major building project to renovate and design permanent galleries for its historic African art collection. The project involves transforming 6,400 square feet of previously underutilized space on the Museum's third floor into vibrant galleries adjoining the landmark Beaux-Arts Court. The renovation will include contemporary infrastructure such as lighting and climate control, while preserving and celebrating the building's historic architectural features. The project aims to create a cohesive gallery experience connecting the Arts of Africa collection with the Egyptian art galleries, enhancing visitor engagement and expanding the Museum's role as a cultural anchor in Brooklyn.
