The Book of HOV

The Book of HOV is an immersive exhibition hosted at the Brooklyn Public Library’s Central Branch in partnership with Roc Nation, an entertainment company founded and owned by JAY-Z. Highlighting key moments from his multi-hyphenate career as a musician, philanthropist, and entrepreneur, the exhibition includes photographs, awards, a vinyl listening station, and even a recreation of the interior of Baseline Studios, where JAY-Z recorded multiple albums. Further contextualized by being situated in his hometown of Brooklyn, the exhibition speaks to his philanthropic efforts and focus on community.
