This is a very beautiful museum. Some of the art here is truly captivating. This is a large museum so you'd need a full day to tour it in its entirety or you can come spontaneously throughout you stay in NY if you're not a native. There is exclusive parking for visitors. Train station is just outside the museum's doors. The food here is good as well if you plan on dining during your visit.
Excellent museum. I visited all five floors and enjoyed all of them. I think my favorite was the American art floor, which had a huge variety of works, including a gallery of randomly assorted paintings. The Egyptian collection was also stunning. The beautiful classical building is right next to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, so if you like outdoor activity you can make a day of it.
There was so much to see! We went on the first Saturday of the month so there was a popup market, a concert, and all sorts of fun things happening. Some of the art was truly breathtaking!
Visut this museum for two First Saturday at the Brooklyn Museum. So many incredible Black-owned businesses and entrepreneurs, amazing music, great vibes—and the exhibitions did not disappoint. If you’re there now, don’t miss Seydou Keïta’s stunning exhibition. Truly powerful work.
One of my absolute favorite museums! The curatorial work is extraordinary—deeply thoughtful, impeccably researched, and executed with remarkable vision. Each exhibition is truly world-class, beautifully designed, and unfolds with beauty and intelligence. Every visit feels like a new discovery, filled with exceptional works and unforgettable exhibitions. If you’re in Brooklyn or the greater New York area, this museum is an absolute must-see.
