Brooklyn Children's Museum Celebrates Expansion
digitalbrooklyn.com
by Phillip Kidd
The "big bird"-yellow design of the expanded museum is the result of the vision of internationally acclaimed Architect Rafael Viñoly, who you may know from his work on Jazz at Lincoln Center and The Museum of Modern Art. The new 102,000-square-foot building will house new and expanded galleries for science and cultural exhibitions, a new theater and gift shop, a permanent headquarters for the 600-member Museum Team afterschool program, new classrooms, and a Kids' Café which is to be named (conspicuously enough) for Forest City Ratner Companies, which contributed a leadership gift to the project.
