"One of Brooklyn's landmark cultural institutions, the Brooklyn Museum on Eastern Parkway in Prospect Heights, has acquired nearly 600 artworks so far in 2025. The additions enhance the 200-year-old museum's collections in American Art, Arts of Africa, Asian Art, Contemporary Art, Decorative Arts and Design, Feminist Art, and Photography, representing cultures across the globe and spanning more than 6,000 years."
"Highlights of the generous donation, made in celebration of the museum's 200th anniversary last year, include transformative works by Japanese sculptor Fujikasa Satoko - one of two gifts from Alan L. Beller - which bolster the museum's growing collection of contemporary Japanese ceramics. Other notable works include a calligraphic piece by early 20th-century Korean activist Ahn Jeung-geun and a group of Japanese bamboo baskets from the Carroll Family."
