Green Threads Exhibit
About Green Threads
Brooklyn Children’s Museum is New York City’s first green museum, as certified by the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program of the U.S. Green Building Council. The Green Threads initiative uses the Museum’s LEED-certified building as a platform to teach about sustainable choices. Green Threads increases awareness of what it means to “think green” and helps build skills people will use to reshape their communities and the world.
Brooklyn Children’s Museum’s Mission
The mission of Brooklyn Children’s Museum is to actively engage children in educational and entertaining experiences through innovation and excellence in exhibitions, programs and use of its collection. The Museum encourages children to develop an understanding of and respect for themselves, others and the world around them by exploring cultures, the arts, science and the environment.
This project is made possible by a grant from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services.
