Brooklyn Museum:
Building for the Future
This book traces the step-by-step execution of the McKim, Mead & White design and the building's subsequent evolution. It focuses on the progressive campaign of renovation and renewal which the Museum has embarked upon in recent years. The book features archival images of the building in its first decades and the changing look of the galleries since the early years of the 20th century. It culminates in a presentation of the new entrance pavilion - a transparent, light-filled, and seemingly weightless structure that makes this historical edifice truly a building for the future.
