Bus Trip - Brooklyn Museum and Brooklyn Botanic Garden

Join us for a day at the Brooklyn Museum and the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. We will begin our day at the Museum for the special exhibition, Iris van Herpen: Sculpting the Senses - celebrating one of the most forward-thinking fashion designers of her generation. More than 140 extraordinary haute couture creations are shown alongside contemporary artworks and designs—by artists including Philip Beesley, Rogan Brown, Casey Curran, Kim Keever and Nick Knight—as well as scientific artifacts and natural history specimens such as coral, fossils, and skeletons. Worn by luminaries including Beyoncé, Björk, Cate Blanchett, Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga, and Ariana Grande, Van Herpen’s designs draw on biomimicry, fractal geometry and mathematics, and neuroscience, transforming cutting-edge discoveries into sculptural gowns and ethereal fabrics. After the special exhibition, you will have time on your own to explore the rest of the museum then head across the parking lot to wander through the many gardens at The Brooklyn Botanic Garden, including the Rose Garden, Japanese Hill and Pond, Fragrance Garden and more! Lunch is on your own at the Museum café or one of the Garden Cafes. Registration begins at 9:30am on May 26 for Smithtown Library cardholders. Registration for non-Smithtown Library cardholders begins at 9:30am on June 8.
