The Brooklyn Museum is commemorating its 200th anniversary with the 'Breaking The Mold' exhibition, featuring over 220 selected works from its extensive collection of more than 140,000 pieces. The exhibition is divided into three chapters that highlight Brooklyn's artistic legacy: 'Brooklyn Made,' 'Building the Brooklyn Museum and Its Collection,' and 'Gifts of Art in Honor of the 200th.' Curators emphasize themes of local culture, community, and significant art pieces, such as Georgia O'Keeffe's painting of the Brooklyn Bridge and a carousel horse from Coney Island.
Georgia O'Keeffe's painting of the Brooklyn Bridge is a significant highlight, and the unexpected presence of the Coney Island carousel horse adds charm and intrigue for visitors.
The exhibit 'Brooklyn Made' features local artists and captures Brooklyn's rich artistic history, showcasing themes of labor, industry, land settlement, and community building.
