BROOKLYN — A Brooklyn record store is set to become the latest occupant of an eerie Gowanus museum.
Black Gold will take over the café at the Morbid Anatomy Museum, a 4,200-square-foot space dedicated to the macabre with taxidermy classes and deathly artifacts.
Along with coffee and pastries, Black Gold will sell a curated selection of records at the café that it hopes to open at the end of the month, said co-owner Sommer Santoro.
“We feel we’re going to be a really good fit for the space,” she said, of the museum at Third Avenue near Seventh Street.
The café, which features free Wi-Fi and picnic table-style seating, will serve Black Gold’s popular pour-over coffee from Rook as well as espresso from Variety and snacks from Balthazar, Ovenly and the Good Batch.
“The Black Gold Café at the Morbid Anatomy Museum” will be the record shop’s first brick-and-mortar store outside of its Carroll Gardens home base.
The café will be stocked with close to 2,000 records, including new releases, reissues and a few sought-after collectables “that people are going to want immediately,” said co-owner Jeff Ogiba.
Most records will be priced between $5 and $20 but rare pieces will cost more.
