"The renovations are more than just a gallery, but a bold reframing of how African art is understood and celebrated in American museums."
"This transformation strengthens our role as a civic and cultural anchor in Brooklyn, deepening our relationship with our community and expanding what a museum can be for the public we serve."
The Brooklyn Museum plans to create a permanent African Arts gallery, set to open in fall 2027. This $13 million renovation will enhance the museum's African art collection, showcasing over 300 works. The new 6,400-square-foot galleries will connect with the Egyptian art galleries, uniting North Africa with the rest of the continent. The project aims to redefine the understanding and celebration of African art in American museums, strengthening the museum's role as a cultural anchor in Brooklyn and engaging diverse audiences.
