The Brooklyn Children’s Museum, the world’s first museum created expressly for children, embarked on an ambitious building expansion, doubling its size to 102,000 square feet. Cambridge Seven designed one of two new permanent exhibits in this reconceived museum. The exhibit, World Brooklyn, explores the cultures of the world through the diversity of Brooklyn’s ethnic neighborhoods. Brooklyn is a borough of immigrants with one third of its residents born abroad and an estimated 128 languages spoken. A streetscape forms the main circulation spine and is lined with stores that reflect the diversity of Brooklyn: a West Indian Travel Agency, a Chinese Stationary Store, an Italian Pizzeria, a World Music Store, and an International Supermarket.
