Take the Elite coach to Brooklyn and spend the day at either or both venues. Artists- bring
your easels and paints – store them in the bus; art, furniture, sculpture, and garden
mavens rejoice! At the Brooklyn Museum, they are offering two wonderful exhibits:

"SOLID GOLD" and "BREAKING THE MOLD";
These two exhibits celebrate the 200th  Anniversary of the BROOKLYN MUSEUM. On view are more than 500 “golden” works of art, fashion, film, music, and design; you can see longtime favorites and recent acquisitions.


In “Breaking the Mold: The Brooklyn Museum at 200,” the museum presents 3 chapters that boast both longtime favorites and brand-new standouts bringing new narratives while exploring the collection’s rich history and its future.


At the adjacent Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Daffodils, magnolias, and cherry trees are just a few
of the Spring plants and trees in bloom at this time of year!
