Sugar has fueled Brooklyn's economic growth for over 150 years.
Sweet Industries revealed stories of this delicious commodity and its associated businesses. The exhibition focused on two companies: Domino Sugar Corporation and Drake's Bakeries, and shared the experiences of generations of Brooklynites who dedicated their working lives to satisfying America's sweet tooth. Sweet Industries was curated by nine Brooklyn teens who participated in Ex Lab, BHS's annual museum studies afterschool program.
