Located within the oldest seltzer works in New York City (a family run business now in its fourth generation), the Brooklyn Seltzer Museum celebrates the production of seltzer, the science of seltzer, its cultural importance, and the value of local, family-run businesses.
The History of Seltzer
The history of seltzer began 2,400 years ago (on a Tuesday). This history covers seltzer?s discovery as naturally carbonated water bubbling up from the ground with health-giving properties, the industrial era that turned it from a medicine for the elite to a beverage for the masses, to its incorporation as an aggressive comedic prop within a new flavor of American comedy, and so so much more.
At the Brooklyn Seltzer Museum, this history is told across 22 milestones mapped across a horizontal timeline the width of the Museum entrance.
A Family Business
The Brooklyn Seltzer Museum was co-founded by, and is inside the factory of, the Brooklyn Seltzer Boys. The current factory is just one of many pearls in a chain going back four generations within one family, each generation engaged with the business of seltzer reflecting the business trends of their individual eras.
Companies and brands have come and gone, but the Gomberg family is still here, serving beverages to the people of New York City.
