Noon: Unique Sneak Peek Inside Green-Wood's Most Famous Mausoleums (Free)
2011-10-15 - 2011-10-16 | Green-Wood Cemetery, 500 25th Street, Brooklyn, NY, 11232, United States
Saturday and Sunday, October 15 and 16, 2011
Click here to download a PDF map of the open “houses” on Saturday and Sunday.
For a preview of the event on our blog, click here.
Click play below to watch our mausoleums photo slideshow.What is behind these doors? Join us on October 15 and 16 to find out.Half will be open on Saturday, the other half on Sunday.

Openhousenewyork, featuring free access to New York City’s best architectural features, began in 2003. And Green-Wood has participated in it annually since then, with a great performance across the grounds of music and dance, “Angels and Accordions.”
But this year, on Saturday, October 15, and Sunday, October 16, we have something very different and exciting planned for openhousenewyork.
We will open up some of Green-Wood’s most interesting and elaborate tombs, many of which never before have been open to the public.
Each visitor will be given a map of the locations of the open tombs. You may walk out to the tombs: they will be grouped on each day, with the tombs closest to Green-Wood’s main gates open on Saturday and those farther out open on Sunday. And, our trolley will circulate to each of the open tombs, providing easy access.
On Saturday, The Catacombs, our Historic Chapel, and six family tombs will be open; tentatively Chauncey (many of you may remember it as the wonderfully-lit backdrop for the recent “Spoon River” theatrical performance), Durant (with three sculptures by John Moffitt and an amazing granite door), Van Ness-Parsons (a pyramid), Anderson (a Greek Revival tomb, dated 1864), Acea (see below for photographs), and Morgan.
On Sunday, we plan to open The Catacombs, Historic Chapel, and Feltman, Mott (Dr. Valentine Mott was the greatest surgeon in the world in the 1850s), Whitney (one of the richest families in America), Bourne (where lies the president of Singer Sewing Machine, and which was designed by Ernest Flagg, a prominent architect), Garrison (a great Moorish Revival tomb), Niblo (on Crescent Water, with several pieces of sculpture), and Steinway (the pianomakers, and the largest tomb at Green-Wood, with room for 256 interments).
The FREE access to the cemetery grounds will include maps of the locations (PDF download here) as well as “hop on, hop off” service on Green-Wood’s trolley from noon to 4:00 p.m. on both days.
Reservations are encouraged but are not necessary. Please fill out the Eventbrite widget below to place your reservation online.

1 p.m. Private Screening of Basquiat Film: The Radiant Child
2011-11-05 13:00 - 16:00 | Green-Wood Cemetery, 500 25th Street, Brooklyn, NY, 11232, United States
The Radiant Child movie poster
Saturday, November 5, 2011
Q&A WITH BASQUIAT FRIENDS WHO APPEAR IN FILM, WINE & CHEESE RECEPTION, AND A VISIT TO HIS GRAVE.
Sundance Film Festival: Grand Jury Prize nomination
The New York Times: Critics’ Pick
“Davis focuses on fascinating specifics. Biographical minutiae which influenced his early work and articulate assessments from friends, former girlfriends, art historians, and gallerists illuminate the life and work of the man who took, in the words of Yale professor Robert Farris Thompson, “all the street energies and translated them into high art.” – Melissa Anderson, The Village Voice
“Places Basquiat’s art in a cultural context with an enthusiasm and zest that make the many pictures shown come blazingly alive. His bitter contemplations of black history, in particular, have an epic, historical dimension, while also reflecting his own insecurity about being treated as an exotic, token black star in a predominantly white art world.”
– Stephen Holden, The New York Times
Centered on a rare interview that director and friend Tamra Davis shot with Jean-Michel Basquiat over 20 years ago, this new documentary chronicles the meteoric rise and fall of the young artist. In the crime-ridden NYC of the late 1970s, he covered the city with the graffiti tag “SAMO.” Twenty-five years old at the height of his career, Basquiat painted canvases that sell today for more than a million dollars. The film features interviews with Julian Schnabel, Larry Gagosian, Fab 5 Freddy, Jeffrey Deitch and many more. Click play below to watch a trailer:

Film screening is followed by wine and cheese; Q&A with Suzanne Mallouk, artist, psychiatrist and Basquiat’s former girlfriend, and Michael Harmon, co-founder of Basquiat’s 1980s industrial noise band, “Gray”; and a visit to Basquiat’s grave.
$25 per person for Green-Wood Historic Fund members and $35 for non-members. Seating is limited. Reservations required.
