WHERE WE ARE LOCATED

Bedford-Stuyvesant, commonly called Bed-Stuy, has been a center of African-American culture since the early 20th century.
Bedford-Stuyvesant also has the largest collection of intact and largely untouched Victorian architecture in the country, with roughly 8,800 buildings built before 1900.
Bed-Stuy is culturally rich and exceptionally diverse, and the neighborhood has something for just about everyone.
Bed-Stuy’s long history as a black community endures, and the neighborhood’s roots can be explored through various museums that call Bed-Stuy home.
The Bedford-Stuyvesant Museum of African Artc elebrates the black community’s countless contributions to American art — and culture at large — while grounding the near century-old neighborhood firmly in the present. Not only is the neighborhood of Bed-Stuy home to some of Brooklyn’s best dining and nightlife, it’s also the home of one of Brooklyn’s oldest parks: Herbert Von King Park.
