Observatory -- Brooklyn, NY

Observatory -- Brooklyn, NY OBSERVATORY is an art and events space in the Gowanus neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York.

Founded in February 2009 and run by a group of seven artists and bloggers, the space seeks to present programming inspired by the 18th century notion of “rational amusement” and is especially interested in topics residing at the interstices of art and science, history and curiosity, magic and nature. The space hosts screenings, lectures, classes, and exhibitions, and is part of the Proteus Gowanus art complex.
