The Brooklyn Museum Archives maintains a collection of historical press

site. The releases range from brief announcements to extensive articles;
images of the original releases have been included for your reference.

occasional errors, have been retained. Releases may also contain errors

didactics have not been retained, and that the text may contain errors
as a result of the scanning process. We welcome your

corrections.
For select exhibitions, we have made available some or all of the
