The Brooklyn Museum revealed plans to renovate and build a new home for its African art collection dating back to the early 1900s, making it one of America’s oldest institutional collections of art from Africa and the diaspora it informs.
In August, the Henry and Rose Pearlman Foundation announced that it was dispersing all 63 artworks in its possession to three art museums: the Museum of Modern Art, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Brooklyn Museum.
