Julie SosciaJanuary 13, 2019Stop by the restaurant in the Museum for a tasty break, the special exhibits such as David Bowie are phenomenal. Tickets can also be purchased in advance.

Sam MolterAugust 11, 2017The floor of the main hall is probably the greatest work of art among the many other great works here. 👌🏼
Sam GilMarch 4, 2018Free first Saturday of each month, usually with some events. Get there earlyish as it’s hits capacity these days.

There are some wonderful surprises in the Luce Center for American Art, such as an array of Latin American Spanish Colonial paintings, silverwork, polychrome sculpture, and furniture. Don't miss it!

James G.December 4, 2011Checkout the HIDE/SEEK exhibit if you get a chance. It's the same exhibition known best for the controversy it caused in DC when it first opened in October of 2010 at the National Portrait Gallery.

Stop by the Brooklyn Roasting Company stand in the lobby, but only after you finish with the museum (they don't tell you that you can't bring drinks inside)- Gabriel HayesSeptember 3, 2015Best art museum in Brooklyn. A great alternative to the museums in Manhattan.

Joe BrolgsAugust 5, 2015There's good Faile and Basquiat exhibitions on at the moment), the Faile one is awesome. Pay by donation.. give them a dollar for 2, no need to get carried away.

Akilah AkridgeApril 4, 2015The variety of exhibits and constant update of themes. ...never boring here. Oh! Ý the suggested donation!
Jamie WildermanNovember 15, 2013Excellent museum- very beautiful & easily accessible by public transportation. Worth the visit!
Jon RossFebruary 17, 2013The 5th floor featuring art from Northern, Central and Southern America was worth the (suggested) price alone.

Jude GiaramitaAugust 2, 2015Not too thrilled about the $15 park fee. Lived in Park Slope when I was a girl and never went to this park. Long overdue, the exhibits were interesting but the air conditioning was spotty.
Diverse selection of art with many works of art by artists of color- Lee GreenJuly 14, 2017Saw the Georgia O'Keefe exhibit, fabulous that they include her actual clothing that she used to achieve her unique persona.
It's huge inside with 5 floors. Has lots of good stuff. Much less crowded than MET.
