++BROOKLYN MUSEUM TRIP++
We will be meeting at the Brooklyn Museum on Saturday, November 16th at 12pm
We will be visiting Judy Chicago's The Dinner Party and the other galleries of the Elizabeth Sackler Center for Feminist Art.
We will meet in the glass lobby of the museum near the main entrance door at least 10 minutes BEFORE 12pm. Buy your ticket as soon as you arrive. Remember general admission to the museum is a suggested donation. We will assemble here and I will be leading all of us upstairs to see the Dinner Party all together. I will walk you through the installation and explain as much as I can about it and you will all have time to experience the installation for yourselves. You will then be able to visit any part of the museum after we are done. I highly recommend staying and seeing other galleries!
Give yourself extra time for traveling on the weekend. Directions to the Brooklyn Museum can be found here. There is street parking near the museum if you drive there. Careful to read street regulation signs carefully. There is also a parking lot at the museum where you can pay to park. Speak to other students about car pooling together or traveling together via public transportation. Please feel free to invite a guest to join.
Attendance at the class trip will count in place of the writing assignment, Post 4 (5pts) only if you attend on 11/16 with the class.
