"It Happened In Brooklyn" exhibition (Brooklyn)

Via Brooklyn Historical Society

Brooklyn historical Society is presenting a photo exhibition entitled "It Happened In Brooklyn."  I love Brooklyn not just because I live there, but because this area has distinctive colors and cultures that are different from what you can experience in the city (Manhattan). I would say Brooklyn has its own charm and beauty, even though it can be less convenient or less modernized.

If you get to know more about Brooklyn's history and the native settlers of this area, this photo exhibition is a perfect opportunity. The exhibition highlights key moments in the history of America and how they affected Brooklyn and the people who lived in here.

You will see the photos taken on Brooklyn's shores during the Revolutionary war, early immigrants&settlers, the women who worked in the Brooklyn Navy Yard during World War 2, and Brooklynites who worked to abolish slavery. 


It would be interesting to learn how Brooklyn transformed itself through this nation's history. The Brooklyn Historical Society covers 400 years of Brooklyn's development through photographs, paintings, memorabilia and interactive exhibitions. Also the museum is located in Dumbo-my favorite area in Brooklyn.  I can't wait to see it :)
