Margeaux walks down a kind of “memory lane” of being at the @brooklynmuseum when she was in her 20’s. Apparently, the Period Rooms saw some things they probably shouldn’t have. We all know that Margeaux has lived quite a colorful past, and nothing should surprise us at this point. Hazel is working hard to stay engaged while also protecting Winston from overhearing these sordid stories of yesteryear.

We’ve got a great addition for your “to be read” pile! 📚 On May 22, join us at our next Brooklyn Reads: Marsha with Tourmaline and Phoebe Robinson! We’ll celebrate the legacy of Black transgender activist Marsha P. Johnson with author and artist Tourmaline (@tourmaliiine), whose debut book is the first definitive biography of Johnson as both an activist and artist. The evening opens with a performance by Egyptt LaBeija, Overall Godmother of the House of LaBeija (@officialhouseoflabeija). After a reading, Tourmaline is joined in conversation by Phoebe Robinson (@dopequeenpheebs), an actor, producer, bestselling author, and the founder of Tiny Reparations Books (@tinyrepbooks).

“My early death by fossil fuel reflects what we are doing to ourselves.” 🌏 This message was sent to the press in an email by environmental activist and attorney, David Buckel, who walked into Prospect Park, doused himself in gasoline, and set himself on fire on the morning of April 14, 2018. He expressed the hope that his death would encourage others to be more mindful of our planet. Brooklyn-based photographer Joel Sternfeld happened to be in Prospect Park that day. The following day, he began to document the gradual regeneration of the site to honor Buckel’s hope. “Our Loss,” which comprises seventy-four photographs in total, is part of an ongoing series by Sternfeld on the effects of climate change. It is a remarkable example of the quintessential relationship between photography, grief, and remembrance. See this series by Sternfeld on view in Breaking the Mold: Brooklyn Museum at 200. 📷 Joel Sternfeld (@sternfeldarchive). “Our Loss” series, 2018–19, printed 2021. Pigmented inkjet print.

It seems like everyone in Brooklyn is becoming a DJ… including the honey bees who call our rooftop home! 🐝 To celebrate the important role of honey bees in our ecosystem on Earth Day, they’ve dropped a bee-utiful mixtape on Spotify, inspired by our borough being in full-bloom! This spring, our rooftop residents are busy pollinating Brooklyn. They can fly up to three miles from their hives, so they’ve likely buzzed through Prospect Park, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Green-Wood Cemetery, and even the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Buzz on over to the link in our bio to listen to the playlist and tell us what questions you have about our two honey bee hives in the comments!👇 #EarthDay #HoneyBee #BrooklynMuseum #BkMSocialAction
