“American Identities: A New Look” Exhibition
Brooklyn Museum
This event has ended.
This major installation of more than three hundred fifty objects from the Brooklyn Museum’s premier collection of American art integrates a vast array of fine and decorative arts (silver, furniture, ceramics, and textiles) ranging in date from the colonial period to the present. For the first time, major objects from these exceptional collections are joined by selections from the Museum’s important holdings of Native American and Spanish colonial art. The galleries are organized according to a set of eight innovative themes, through which visitors can explore historical moments and crucial ideas in American visual culture over the course of nearly three hundred years.
