History Events in Brooklyn

Join us at the New York Sign Museum for a tour of our collection located within Noble Signs' manufacturing shop! We are conveniently located a couple of blocks from the Broadway Junction A/C/J/L subway stop and across the street from the LIRR East New York stop. Serving as a resource for community members, historians, and designers alike, the New York Sign Museum is a registered nonprofit organization with the mission of preserving historic signage from around the New York metropolitan area. Currently incubating in Noble Signs' fabrication and design studios, the museum collection includes over 40 full-scale rescued storefront signs and dozens of other small pieces and ephemera. See the collection and an active sign shop where signs are still made the old-fashioned way, situated in an amazing one-of-a-kind prewar factory space with original details including glass block walls, art deco tin ceilings, stained glass dividers, and a functioning dumbwaiter.
