The Brooklyn Historical Society is opening a museum inside the new Empire Stores waterfront mall in Dumbo on May 19th , 2017. To launch the event, their first exhibition titled, Shifting Perspectives: Photographs of Brooklyn’s Waterfront, will be followed at year’s end by a long-term show simply called “Waterfront” that explores the history of the area’s workers, industries, art and social fabric.
The museum also includes a gift shop which will feature souvenirs crafted by Brooklyn artisans, a fascinating array of books, and eclectic items you can’t find anywhere else!
Getting to DUMBO is easy by subway, take the F train to York or just walk over the Brooklyn Bridge!
