Spike Lee Exhibit - Brooklyn Museum

The Spike Lee Exhibit is officially open at the Brooklyn Museum! It will be open through Sunday, February 4, 2024, at the museum's Morris A. and Meyer Schapiro Wing and Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Gallery, "Spike Lee: Creative Sources." This exhibit  will delve into the world, works and influences of the acclaimed director who, though born in Atlanta, Georgia, was raised and revered as one of New York's own, particularly in the borough of Brooklyn. 

I went on First Saturdays and it was a vibe, as usual. To be clear, you still have to purchase an actual ticket for the exhibit if you do get a free ticket to First Saturdays.

Film geeks like myself will get a kick out of seeing set dressings and props pulled directly from some of Lee's most films, including his Brooklyn-based titles Do the Right Thing (1989) and She’s Gotta Have It (1986). 

The exhibition features more than 300 of Lee’s artifacts, from objects that inspired or were used in his movies, to behind-the-scenes photographs or on-set stills, and artworks from his personal collection that celebrate Black culture.

The Spike Lee exhibition will be on view at the Brooklyn Museum on Wednesdays through Sundays from 11am to 6pm. Click here to get tickets and enjoy my TikTok!
