JAY-Z's retrospective exhibition, "The Book Of Hov," is being held at the Brooklyn Central Library (Hov is Jay-Z's nickname). JAY-Z's lyrics, which cover the entire wall of the library's main entrance, are very impressive, and the exhibit inside pays tribute to the hip-hop star's accomplishments as well as his achievements as an entrepreneur and philanthropist, which are displayed in eight different zones.
To commemorate the retrospective, 13 limited edition book cards with JAY-Z album artwork will be issued, and will be available at public libraries throughout Brooklyn after August. Admission is free for all. Early visit is recommended as the number of visitors will be limited and admission may be restricted due to time limits. The exhibition runs through October.
