Title: Opening the Pocket Doors: Beauty and the Beer (An Exhibit That Never Was)

URL: https://www.bklynlibrary.org/blog/2024/02/20/opening-pocket-doors

Description: In the early 2000s, the Brooklyn Historical Society wanted to put together an exhibit to celebrate the reinstatement of the Miss Rheingold contest in 2003. However, the contest—seemingly updated for modern audiences—didn't seem to be nearly as popular as its original concept and ended after only a year. The exhibit too fell apart and never came to fruition.
