PHOTOS: Spike Lee Exhibit Opens Saturday At Brooklyn Museum

BROOKLYN, NY — Brooklyn Museum's new Spike Lee exhibit offers a look inside the Brooklyn-native filmmaker's brain with hundreds of items from his personal collection.

The exhibit, opening to the public Saturday, offers a tour through Lee's biggest influences ranging from Black liberation leaders to Brooklyn sports icons.

Different rooms lead museum goers through Black history and culture, sports, film, music, photography, Lee's family and his experience of Brooklyn.

The collection boasts incredible artifacts of Brooklyn's recent history, like signed NBA scorecards, signed movie posters, Lee's hot pink Louis Vuitton suit, a letter from Kamala Harris and jackets from "School Daze."

Raised in Crown Heights and Cobble Hill, an entire room of the exhibit offers a love letter to "Da People's Republic of Brooklyn."

"The borough is an honorary character in his films, portrayed through distinctive panoramas, vignettes, and narratives," a description of the Brooklyn room reads. "Lee's love of his city is also clear in the images he collects, which represent Brooklyn at its most iconic and its most intimate."

The exhibit includes imagery from Bed-Stuy favorite"Do the Right Thing" and his Fort Greene-based production company, 40 Acres and a Mule Filmworks.

Lee's words about Brooklyn are written in white on a bright blue wall, over a replica of a stoop: "There's something about Brooklyn. It's the people, the diversity, the culture, the people who make up this great borough."
