In spring 2008, the Brooklyn Museum worked with videographer Matt Wolf on a new promotional piece closely tied to our mission that features both Museum visitors and the collection.
At the December 1 Target First Saturday, staff photographer Christine Gant took portraits of visitors. Wolf combined these portraits with images of collection objects and installation views taken by ten members of the Brooklyn Museum's Flickr community.
