Join historian Keith Muchowski as we walk to the Plaza and explore the historical monuments, architecture, and landscapes of Eastern Parkway. As the main entrance of Prospect Park, nineteenth-century architects Vaux and Olmsted envisioned Grand Army Plaza as a grand introduction to Eastern Parkway, a picturesque home for Brooklyn’s finest cultural institutions. Enjoy the sights of the Brooklyn Museum and Botanic Garden, the Art Deco façade of the Brooklyn Public Library Central Branch, and the monumental Soldiers and Sailors Arch on the Plaza.The hour-long walking tour begins and ends in the Rubin Lobby of the Museum. Then, take advantage of the included Museum admission for the remainder of the day and explore our collection on your own. Tickets are available here.Posted by Laval Bryant -- source link
