New York City Audio Tour: Brooklyn's Icons, Parks, and Hidden Stories

Audio guide13 stops

A greenhouse once concealed a botanical scandal. Marble lions outside the library have watched generations rise and fall in Brooklyn’s restless heart. Artworks inside the museum whisper of uprisings and quiet revolutions. This self-guided audio tour invites you into Brooklyn’s living story. Explore world-class institutions and leafy escapes while unearthing secrets most visitors never see. Why did a librarian face down a mayor over banned books? What clues to a vanished community are still buried beneath the garden paths? Who staged the strangest chess match ever witnessed inside these museum halls? Trace the outlines of lost gardens and rebel galleries. Move through sunlight and shadow where art, power, knowledge, and nature collide. This journey transforms how Brooklyn looks, sounds, and feels as hidden currents surge beneath familiar places. Ready to follow those marble lions deeper into Brooklyn’s unexpected past? Begin your tour now.
