Finley Bomer-LawsonFebruary 6, 2015Pay what you wish is always nice and the museum has a variety of different exhibitions.
Akilah AkridgeApril 4, 2015The variety of exhibits and constant update of themes. ...never boring here. Oh! Ý the suggested donation!
Jenny CrowleyJuly 30, 2016Stop in even if you don't have much time. Hit up the gift shop and the lobby for free exhibits.
Joseph NumbiniFebruary 2, 2014Stop taking all the parking on Eastern Pkwy. every 1st friggin Saturday! Take public transportation or a cab u cheap bastards!
Love this museum! First Saturdays is fun but come any other time and you feel like you have the whole museum to yourself.
AbNovember 28, 2015Hope they get funding/ambition to expand this place. The building is beautiful, but some of the exhibits feel hand-me-down
Diverse selection of art with many works of art by artists of color
Grace ClarkeJanuary 20, 2014Eric Adams inauguration as the first Black Boro President in Brooklyn - excellent venue- great security detail.- Gabriel HayesJanuary 25, 2016Really cool that they did free admission for those who could make it during the Blizzard Jonas
Jon RossFebruary 17, 2013The 5th floor featuring art from Northern, Central and Southern America was worth the (suggested) price alone.
Dawn :o) DamnYourNosey!July 31, 2012One of my favorite museums. Check out the Egyptian exhibit and the Rodan collection. :0)
B. Andrea DSeptember 9, 2014I love working out in the front of the building. No matter how much I complain about it. #plyometrics
It's huge inside with 5 floors. Has lots of good stuff. Much less crowded than MET.
Chris RevelleSeptember 18, 2017Love the thoughtfulness of the exhibitions here. Always great work and reflection.

Nicole MatthewApril 11, 2013Loved the art there especially the marble sculptures. Definitely planning to go back.
mang roiszJuly 12, 2010One of the most beautiful museums in New York. Most people stick to the city for their art but you must come to Brooklyn and see this one!!! Brilliant!
The new Basquiat painting is a stunning exhibit. First stop on a world tour.
Tim ApplebeeMarch 24, 2013Sit on the fifth floor with your back against the wall supporting the dome and look up, then close one eye to see it all better.
Blushing LibbyJuly 7, 2013Look out for performances here at Brooklyn Museum. Today I will check out The Mighty Third Rail!
Chris R (thechristophe)December 23, 2017Decent museum with some good collections and nice architecture. They could use the space better however.

EchoDAJanuary 24, 2012Just off Prospect Park, the Museum offers a broad view on art and arts from all over the World. Great temporary exhibits.
Design*SpongeMarch 28, 2011If you're visiting over the weekend, the first Saturday of each month is free. Great chance to check out art in a beautiful location.- restrooms and atm behind the coffee bar near the entrance
Jeffrey EastonApril 13, 2013The Brooklyn Museum has the second largest permanent collection in the US - second only to the Met
Madm FiaNovember 25, 2014This place seems small but there are so many nooks and crannies from old to very modern shoes and high fashion.
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.
Frank CaronJanuary 8, 2013Beware the door to the cafe, which is not as tricky to open in the proper direction as it seems. Remember: a horizontal bar = push foward!
Eileen ChamMarch 31, 2012Huge museum, but don't miss the egyptian collection. One of the finest in the continent.
