As part of this transformation, the Museum Shop will be relocated and it's new space has been designed by <a href="http://www.visbeen.biz">Visbeen Associates</a>.

Important new features to enhance the visitor's experience will be a wider entrance that will open onto the Grand Lobby, providing greater visual access to the galleries in the Great Hall and assisting with circulation patterns, as well as a new signage system."</blockquote></span></span></div>Here are a few 3D views of our initial design concepts for the Museum Shop.<div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1gjuodvm71341NrWoFYy5r2Ie-CLvNjKvA7zE-SmTRW-uJWcjlAL0v-8DdAmvd1toWU10sPP1aViNRTZh4PpH0IX2lOQJpwVT8sYeFDKjGPY-IoaUpBg_uPcOmPv6MNO6i_yKn_CiEEHt/s1600/CM.H1.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581407403228195634" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1gjuodvm71341NrWoFYy5r2Ie-CLvNjKvA7zE-SmTRW-uJWcjlAL0v-8DdAmvd1toWU10sPP1aViNRTZh4PpH0IX2lOQJpwVT8sYeFDKjGPY-IoaUpBg_uPcOmPv6MNO6i_yKn_CiEEHt/s320/CM.H1.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 207px;" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOCm-Rdp_RwcVAd4mDWyCik6Y-gNrhhUUMbeMo9pnX4ppAZfNMXCirM_d5iYLH038Bno3qinoMrQ_4uMUKBCbnl9ewBi668GyIKSawLZ4w8096XS7IpyxR-oaM3FaD7Ke9h5KP0k1vKLAK/s1600/CM.H2.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581407398499117378" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOCm-Rdp_RwcVAd4mDWyCik6Y-gNrhhUUMbeMo9pnX4ppAZfNMXCirM_d5iYLH038Bno3qinoMrQ_4uMUKBCbnl9ewBi668GyIKSawLZ4w8096XS7IpyxR-oaM3FaD7Ke9h5KP0k1vKLAK/s320/CM.H2.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 207px;" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4zykKDp-Q5vHcN5Z1URStXpNKuX9XsRA7JhRFBcPpNQ20FRxliNutJNxOdEE5H1NM7A1x9NO_Go_juWytlum8iYXCxSnE9vGfA15YzP3j5n4e9uG__RetlOt62xMbLCAbjBh_aXwhjSuD/s1600/CM.SF5.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581407397280505874" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4zykKDp-Q5vHcN5Z1URStXpNKuX9XsRA7JhRFBcPpNQ20FRxliNutJNxOdEE5H1NM7A1x9NO_Go_juWytlum8iYXCxSnE9vGfA15YzP3j5n4e9uG__RetlOt62xMbLCAbjBh_aXwhjSuD/s320/CM.SF5.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 207px;" /></a><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium; "><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><div>To read the full article about this grand renovation, please visit the following website:</div></span></span></span></div><a href="http://broadwayworld.com/article/Brooklyn_Museum_to_Open_First_Phase_of_Transformative_Renovation_20110224">Brooklyn Museum to Open First Phase of Transformative Renovation 2011/02/24</a></div><div><br /></div><div><i>To view other retail designs by Visbeen Associates, Inc., please visit the gallery of our website: www.visbeen.biz > gallery > commercial projects > retail.</i></div>
