Current Exhibitions
Featured Exhibition:
"The Photographs of Barbara Mensch"
The exhibition is curated by Tom Mellins, special projects curator for the Museum of The City of New York. These images are Barbara Mensch’s tribute to the lost world of Lower Manhattan’s Fulton Fish Market. For more than a century, a tightly knit community of workingmen, many of them immigrants or children of immigrants, thrived in their nocturnal jobs as fishmongers under the base of the Brooklyn Bridge.  Resistant to government regulations and corporate encroachment these men worked in a closed, internally-policed world that was deeply hostile to outsiders.
On View: April 15, 2008 through December 31, 2008
