Contemporary Art Exhibit (upstairs in the Great Room)

Albums of Inclusion: Jamaica, Ecuador, China is the New York City debut exhibition of Broken China (Tao Leigh Goffe and Cecile Chong). Interrogating Chinese Exclusion Acts in the United States from 1875, the artists turn to Jamaica (Goffe) and Ecuador (Chong) drawing on their family photo albums and shared Hakka Chinese heritage. Highlighting other itineraries of the Asian Americas, they center the Caribbean and South America as desired ports of call. Broken China questions who is excluded from the family frame because of blood quantum, heteronormativity, classism, and colorism within the Chinese diaspora. Featured are several bodies of work that transform domestic objects to create tapestries, collages, and video installations, using family archives, embroidery, and text, entangling the multiplicity of these materials.

Permanent Exhibition

Old Stone House: Witness to War is a self-directed exhibit that takes visitors on a journey from the Lenape village of Marechkawick through Dutch colonization and the Revolutionary War era in Brooklyn. Ten themed areas allow visitors to explore this history and consider how war and displacement impacted the community, what choices people had to make at the time, battle strategies, and what makes these issues relevant in today’s world.

The contemporary art gallery is on display in our Great Room which is up 18 steps with a railing on one side.

Witness to War is on the ground floor. The doorway has a 1.5 inch threshold.

Public park bathrooms are on the South side of the building. They are on the ground floor but are not currently wheelchair accessible.

You will find many oppurtunities to sit and rest throughout the House.

The history and art on display should be considered "PG" for complex themes. The atmosphere is always family-friendly and visiting us is a great way for children to practice respectful museum behavior.
