Posted at 07:31h in by NYLK in Uncategorized



Brooklyn Children’s Museum re-opens on September 14 after undertaking it’s annual exhibit maintenance.

They have been busy prepping the Garden for the colder seasons, dusting the top of the elephant skeleton, and tackling all the other messy, noisy prolonged projects that are hard to do with the little ones around.

They will reopen, bright and fresh for the new school year, on September 14, 2013.
