"Anne Pasternak stated, 'This renovation is a major step in our larger vision to revitalize the entire museum, creating spaces that will allow us to continue to entice and engage a breadth of audiences with distinctive art experiences.'"
"The Brooklyn Museum aims to deepen its relationship with the community and expand what a museum can be for the public it serves, according to Anne Pasternak."
The Brooklyn Museum is launching a $13 million renovation to establish permanent Arts of Africa galleries, set to open in fall 2027. This expansion will feature over 300 works of African art, enhancing the museum's historic collection. The new 6,400-square-foot galleries will connect with the Egyptian art galleries, promoting a unified view of African art. The project is led by Peterson Rich Office, with input from Beyer Blinder Belle for historic preservation. The renovations aim to redefine the understanding and celebration of African art in American museums.
