Long Island Museum closes for the winter, will reopen March 3

The Long Island Museum, 1200 Route 25A, Stony Brook will be on hiatus through March 3 to change over its exhibitions. When it reopens the new season of exhibitions will include:

Two Centuries of Long Island Women Artists, 1800-2000.

On view March 3, 2022- September 4, 2022, this exhibition aims to provide a survey of the history of women artists on Long Island, exploring and emphasizing their significance, which has reverberated far beyond this region. By focusing an exhibition entirely on women’s contributions to art history in this region, from Brooklyn to Montauk, over 200 years, this project provides an enormous opportunity to provide a new fuller, richer accounting of women’s prolific and ever-changing impacts.

The LIM’s 23rd Annual Colors of Long Island student art exhibition returns! On view in the History Museum from March 3 – April 3, 2022, the exhibition will feature art from dozens of talented K-12 students from across Long Island.

Atoms to Cosmos: The Story of Brookhaven National Laboratory. Originally scheduled to open in March, 2020, this ambitious exhibition will run from April 22, 2022- October 16, 2022 and will invite audiences to explore the social, scientific, and technological history of one of Long Island’s most important and internationally-influential modern institutions since 1947, Brookhaven National Laboratory. The Lab operates as a United States Department of Energy national laboratory at the forefront of crucial scientific research and development. As one of Suffolk County’s leading employers and a vital economic and cultural center with a long, complex, often misunderstood, and sometimes controversial past, BNL’s story will have enormous audience appeal. In partnership with the Lab, LIM will tell the important BNL story to our visitors through a combination of more than 150 artifacts, historic photographs, film, and interactive components.
