Opened this July to great buzz at Brooklyn Central Library, the Book of HOV is a tribute exhibition recognizing Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter’s journey from Brooklyn’s Marcy Projects to a global mogul. From the New York Times:

Featuring artwork, music, memorabilia, ephemera and large-scale recreations of touchstones from a sprawling career, “The Book of Hov,” might seem more at home at the Brooklyn Museum down the block. But by installing the showcase across eight zones of a functioning library, its architects are aiming to bring aspirational celebrity extravagance to a free public haven just a few miles from the Marcy Houses where Jay-Z grew up.
