The world is in bloom—and so are our galleries!
Here at the Brooklyn Museum, Hiroshige’s 100 Famous Views of Edo (feat. Takashi Murakami) celebrates the seasons in 19th-century Tokyo, starting with brilliant scenes of springtime and cherry trees. And we’re just two days away from opening our exciting new exhibition, Paul McCartney Photographs 1963–64: Eyes of the Storm, thrusting you into the whirlwind of Beatlemania as the beloved band was blossoming into a legend.
We hope you visit the Museum and feel like you are blossoming too.
