Spring Gala
Spring Gala 2023
The Board of Trustees of Brooklyn Children’s Museum invites you to the Spring Gala.
Celebrating our partnership with Brooklyn Public Library and the opening of the Brower Park Library at Brooklyn Children’s Museum.
June 1, 2023, 7:00 pm
Join us for a night when adults take over the Museum, enjoying Brooklyn’s best cocktails and food in the Museum’s exhibits. We bring together more than 400 business and philanthropic leaders at the Brooklyn Children’s Museum’s Spring Gala to raise critical funds for the Museum.
Your ticket purchase and donations support the Museum’s exhibits, programs, and resources for Brooklyn families.
