Implementation of an interactive exhibition exploring
400 years of Brooklyn history.
Brooklyn Children’s Museum (BCM) requests an $499,500 Public Humanities Exhibit Implementation grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities to support Brooklyn Time Machine, a permanent exhibition exploring 400 years of Brooklyn’s history in a 25-foot high, three-level, gross-motor climbing structure for children ages 5 to 12. As part of this proposal, BCM requests funds for an Exhibit Manager, a public humanities position that will serve as project manager, research and source material from CBH and other partner collections, and coordinate scholar activities.
