Museums
BOMB the Borough
Just discovered B.O.M.B. — Brooklyn’s Other Museum of Brooklyn. This glorious fake Museums seems to have a real location on Wallabout street, and a bunch of “artifacts” promoting good local causes, along with other articles of vague historical import or curiosity.
We’re especially curious about the physical space itself, anyone been?
We also learned about the long-gone Wallabout Market, formerly the largest produce market on the East Coast from 1801 to 1939, before it was destroyed and swallowed up by the Navy Yards, never to return.

yeah, i wouldn’t quite call the space a museum but it’s still worth a visit. i went a couple weeks ago and had a long talk with the owner/curator about the history of the neighborhood. there aren’t many objects (most of them are in the bathroom) but he has an incredible archive and is extremely knowledgeable on brooklyn and new york city history PLUS he gave me a set of commemorative Admiral’s Row buttons. bonus!
