Brooklyn Museum to open new education center
PROSPECT HEIGHTS — On Saturday, the Brooklyn Museum will welcome visitors to its newly renovated Education Center, named in honor of philanthropist, collector and curator Toby Devan Lewis and her important contributions to the art world.
The revamped 9,500-square-foot space will allow the museum to better serve the more than 50,000 visitors who participate in its education programs each year, including early childhood learners, school groups, teen audiences, college graduates, older visitors and visitors with disabilities.
The reopening will also celebrate expanded and reimagined educational programming, with new offerings on weekends for families and a permanent gallery for installations by renowned artists, students and the community.
