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!
Oliver BreuerJuly 26, 2015Make sure to check out their Ask app. Snap a pic of any exhibit, send, and staff will chat with you about it. Great service!
Buy a joint ticket for same day admission to the Museum and the Botanic Garden and save $$!

Deepika PJuly 14, 2018Target first Saturdays! All day events and concerts the first Saturday of the month in summers. Amazing lineup of events!
Claudia FilthMarch 27, 2019Worst museum experience I’ve every had, worldwide. We bought tickets to the Frida exhibition, came on time and were aggressively herded and barked at into the next room. A huge disservice to the work.
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!
Nicole MatthewApril 11, 2013Loved the art there especially the marble sculptures. Definitely planning to go back.
Nilay GandhiJuly 12, 2019Free admission and live performances first Saturday of the month between 5pm and 11pm.
Chris R (thechristophe)December 23, 2017Decent museum with some good collections and nice architecture. They could use the space better however.
