“Brooklyn Navy Yard: Past, Present and Future” Exhibition Tour

BLDG 92 and Inside Out Tours offer an exhibition tour exploring African American Heritage and the Brooklyn Navy Yard.

The “Brooklyn Navy Yard: Past, Present and Future” exhibition tells for the first time the story of the historic Brooklyn Navy Yard, the 300-acre site nestled on the world-famous Brooklyn waterfront. Established in 1801 as one of the nation’s first five naval shipyards, over 165 years the Yard developed into the nation’s premiere naval industrial facility.  Today, it is home to the greatest concentration of manufacturing and green businesses in New York City.  This exhibition explores contributions made at the Yard to American industry, technology, innovation and manufacturing and learn about the Yard’s impact on labor, politics, education, and urban and environmental planning.

Also, while at BLDG 92, be sure to view artwork that is on view by Cheyanne Epps and Jose de Jesus Rodriguez.
