Unfortunately underwhelming
I visited this museum about 15 years ago and remember enjoying it but was a bit disappointed on my return visit. It felt like there wasn't very much to see and it's difficult to say what the remit of the museum is - there is a complete mishmash of subjects on display. Much of the top floor was taken up with a temporary exhibition about 1970s/1980s fanzines - this was fairly large and a little repetitive. Outside this exhibition the doors to the rest of the floor were roped off making it appear that the whole of the floor was closed, but actually it was only the rooms in the middle of the floor which were closed (the Judy Chicago and other feminist art rooms) and you had to go down in a lift on one side of the building and back up another lift on the other side of the building to get to the other part of that floor. It wasn't clearly signposted at all and I almost missed seeing the displays about design history, which I was most interested in. Unfortunately lots of the period rooms were also closed when I visited. On the floor below was an extensive Egyptian collection, and four modern art pictures/sculptures around a very large open courtyard. The bottom floor is all Asian and Islamic art - some interesting exhibits. There were 3 or 4 temporary modern art installations dotted around the building. It is a large building but I saw everything in about 2 hours.

Unfortunately, I was first in the Met Fanny East and was naturally a little disappointed. But entry without waiting. Everything was nicely set up. But you quickly got through
Be the first to ReplyWorth visiting just to see Judy Chicago's Dinner Party
The museum is quite large geographically but for us it was easy to visit all the accessible spaces in just over two hours. When we were there, there were huge inaccessible areas being prepared for exhibitions... impressed most by the Asian collection, European collection closed, American collection quite limited, Modern nearly nonexistent. A potential visitor should probably check out the Exhibits schedule before deciding to go. Nevertheless, for us, the Brooklyn was worth the time to visit just to see Judy Chicago's Dinner Party. Exceptionally important piece that is so very very impressive. Don't miss the Kehinde Wiley painting and Rodin sculptures in the side hallways of the entrance atrium.
Be the first to ReplyVery impressive collections and beautiful building
This was our first time at the Brooklyn Museum, and walking up to the building we were impressed by the sheer size of the place. Once we got inside, we were quickly engrossed by the comprehensive American art collections. This was our favorite part of the whole museum. I really liked the Visible Storage exhibit as well. Also checked out the Manet exhibit though I was a bit underwhelmed by it. Overall, however, the museum is definitely worth a visit.
Be the first to ReplyTwo Great Shows
The museum is amazing. We only saw the exhibits on the fourth and fifth floors. Monet to Moissot was a good show as was the Spike Lee exhibition. Major disappointment was the bathroom was on the 3rd floor, not ADA compliant for people with Crohn’s disease. While I do not go to museums for the bathrooms, sometimes 2 floors makes a difference. The Cafe was okay.
Be the first to ReplyBeautifully quiet museum.
Beautiful and varied museum. We did the free tour at 1 p.m. where a guide explains about 7 paintings on the fifth floor. Very interesting because you start looking at “things” differently. The museum is quiet with very surprising pieces. Every now and then you suddenly see something completely different, as if the collection ends and we put something there. But most rooms flow logically into each other. There are maps at the cash register so you don't get lost or you can download the app.
Be the first to ReplyExcellent Art Museum - Visit the Spike Lee special exhibiton and their permanent collection
First time to visit this excellent Art Museum. Special exhibition of Spike Lee's art collection and memorabilia is quite excellent. The Museum also has a fine permanent collection. We visited two highlights: Judy Chicago's installation of The Dinner Party, and their quite extensive Ancient Egyptian and Assyrian Collection
Be the first to ReplySolid museum, Hannah Gadsby exhibit thought provoking
This was an interesting museum. Hannah Gadsby's "It's Pablo-matic" exhibit (which has since closed) was very thought-provoking and changed my perspective of his art from "I don't get why people like this" to "Why aren't we showcasing the women?" I also spent time in the Africa Fashion exhibit, which I found more interesting for the photos of life's vignettes than the designer-provided examples. To be sure, the designer stuff can be amazing, but that's not typically what mortals wear.
Be the first to ReplyMassive collection of great art
This is a fabulous art museum in an impressive location with a large collection and lots to explore. An very good exhibition critiquing Picasso was included in the (very reasonable) ticket price as well as the permanent collection. We visited from our hotel in midtown Manhattan and took a cab, but the subway would have worked well too. There was a real focus on the art of indigenous American people which was very interesting, but disappointing that Judy Chicago’s Dinner Party was closed when we visited.
Be the first to ReplyUnforgettable Museum
Amazing museum, Judy Chicago's Dinner Party is wonderful and I have wanted to see it for years but seeing it in real life was more impressive than I could have imagined! I also loved the collection of art and artefacts from the Americas, it was wonderful to see so many Black and Native American artists displayed and written about, so refreshing. 2 hours was not enough, but it was still very wonderful. I'd love another visit but we travled from the UK so it might be a while!
Be the first to ReplyA gem in NYC
Love this museum. Big place. Not as crowded as other NYC museums but not complaining. but something to keep in mind if you need some peace and quiet. Layout is a little confusing and can be better marked. But loved the variety of art. Something for everyone. I went on Wednesday and was not too crowded, other than school groups, but they didn't get in the way.
Be the first to ReplyBlown away!
This was such a surprise! Wasnt sure what to expect but was blown away! Beautiful! Simply stunning! Beautiful large building full of all types of art from all over the world. We spent a entire day here enjoying the exhibits and just enjoying the peace of this museum. Must visit.
Be the first to ReplyBrooklyn Museum in a nutshell
Even if you only have a couple hours to spend at the Brooklyn museum, it’s still definitely worth a trip. It was a very rainy day, and starting my trek midday, I knew I needed plenty of time to navigate on the subway to and from. I spent the most time visiting the Egyptian wing, but also the contemporary women’s art exhibits and the amazing sculptures and eclectic museum store. The museum, especially the spacious 1st floor and rotunda have so much light and the contemporary feel is warm and inviting.
Be the first to ReplyBest "Rain day" activity
We were visiting NY for ten days and had many places in our list of to do activities. I had researched a bit about Museums before we went and decided to put the Museum if Natural History on our to do but skipped Brooklyn. Well we were staying our first 5 days in Brooklyn and faced a rainy day so off we went.... What a treat this is one of the best museums I have ever been too, put it on your to do list you won't be disappointed. Also check out Toms Resteraunt just two blocks away.... awesome classic dinner!
Be the first to ReplyPretty nice
Nice and very well kept exhibitions. Wish there were more floors! Sketchy area but the museum itself is nice. Give it a whirl!
Be the first to ReplyPlenty to see
A lot to see, spent over an hour on one floor. My favorite exhibit was the Egyptian floor. I learned a lot about their burial rituals
Be the first to ReplyWorth visiting !!
First time ever visiting this museum and it was so worth it. Really liked the work shown at this museum. Especially the ones on the 5th floor. Nothing like seeing nice Matisse and Monet
Be the first to Replybrooklyn museum
An awesome museum about the history of Brooklyn - they have a very special memorial exhibit honoring the community members New York City lost during the COVID pandemic, along with several art exhibits including Andy Warhol.
Be the first to ReplyThe Andy Warhol Exhibition is a must-see for all Andy Warhol fans.
The Andy Warhol Exhibition is a must-see for all Andy Warhol fans. Andy Warhol is my favourite American artist. The special Andy Warhol exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum provides an interesting overview of Andy Warhol's early life and his progression as the leading American artist of the 20th Century.
Be the first to ReplySome great exhibits
The Brooklyn Museum is supposed to have one of the best Ancient Egyptian collections. Some of the exhibits are very good. I have seen a few special exhibits that I liked. My lower rating is that the language around some of the exhibits and the choice of some books in the bookstore has a little too much of an attempt to have a derigueur attempt to be contemporary in its political and social commentary.
Be the first to ReplyVisiting the Guadalupe Maravilla exhibition and the Egyptian galleries
I went to the Brooklyn Museum to see the new Guadalupe Maravilla exhibition of her healing art and it was quite interesting and very unusual. Her works can be very strange looking. She even has a healing room where you can sit and relax and listen to music. After that, I visited the Egyptian Galleries and admired the mummy display and how detailed the room of the dead is set up. The museum has all the mummy cases opened up so that you can see the details of the painting. Don't miss the Book of the Dead. I like spending the afternoon strolling through the galleries and admiring the art on the different floors.
Be the first to ReplyHad enough of The Met and MOMA? Try the Brooklyn Museum
Easy to get to - a 2 or 3 train drops you at the front door. The collection is very eclectic- impressive but very manageable. Three hours is really not enough. There is even a decent restaurant The Nome. Don’t miss the excellent Monet to Morisot exhibit. Curation throughout the museum is interesting and excellent. Really a less known jewel. We will be back.
Be the first to ReplyWarhol Exhibition Excellent
The "Revelation" exhibit linking Andy Warhol's religious faith (Ukrainian rite Catholic), his art, his gayness, and his recovery from gunshots was well-curated and definitely worth the rip.
Be the first to ReplyDisappointing experience
In planning my trip to NYC, I tried to preplan as much as possible, while trying to stay flexible in preparation for any and all things Covid. I planned my Friday afternoon/evening at the Met due to its advertised later hours (8pm but changed to 9pm by my visit). I selected the Brooklyn Museum for my Saturday afternoon/evening as a comparison to the previous days Met visit and it advertised an 8pm closure (tickets were pre-purchased as recommendedfor 4pm to give us plenty of time to see the special Warhol exhibit).
Pretty much upon entry the visit fell apart. We had our vaccine cards checked at the door and waved in. There's the ticket counter but no real direction for those already holding tickets. I went to the ticket line anyway (it was short) where I was able to grab a paper map. I flashed the ticket on my phone to the guy at the counter who just pointed me over to the side and up the stairs. No one checked our tickets entering the gallery. We went up stairs not really sure if we were in the ticketed part of the museum yet or not (we were).
My wife and I both studied the paper map. After five minutes we gave up, it's pretty much blank with just a vague description of the basic exhibits on each floor. Many areas on the map are marked off indicating vast swaths of the museum are empty. We found the elevator and one stair shoved in the back corner and went up to the fifth floor for the Warhol exhibit. We were checked in here and went in. This was about 4:25, after arriving to the museum for our 4pm time. Given that the website said it closed at 8, we found it odd the exhibit had signs saying last entry at 4:30.
The Warhol exhibit was pretty decent. We exited it around 5pm back into the rest of the museum and stumbled upon the European paintings that were strangely not on the map. After winding thru it the staff start to yell out that galleries are closing in 15 minutes. This is at 5:15.
We start to follow the rest of the confused crowds back to the first floor where my wife went back to the ticket desk to ask about museum times. She showed them their own website on her phone where it said closing time was 8pm; they told her that must have been for the special exhibit....huh?
So at this point, the staff is (literally) yelling at everyone in the lobby to get out of the building, that the museum closes at 6 not 8. We ended up outside at 5:45, with a couple hundred other confused patrons, wondering why we were out on the street at 5:45.
So the website is incorrect (appears they finally fixed it the week after). While I didn't expect them to allow us to stay until 8 if they really did close at 6, to at least be somewhat apologetic about their error would have been nice.
So between a pitiful map...
Incorrect times on the website that threw off my plans for the trip....
Not really getting to see anything in the roughly hour and fifteen minutes we were in the building....
Having everyone out of the building a full 15 minutes prior to actually "closing".....
Whole areas of the building empty....
I've heard they have a nice collection (though I wouldn't know as I didn't get to see any of it) and it's not overwhelming like some of the galleries at the Met, but based on how they run the place from my one experience I don't think I'd go back or recommend anyone make the effort.
Excellent Andy Warhol exhibition in compact American art museum
The Brooklyn Museum currently has an excellent Andy Warhol exhibition inside its compact mostly American art museum. The Warhol exhibition covers his entire life (beyond just the iconic soup cans & Marilyn Monroe pop posters), with an emphasis on his religious themed works. An interesting way to look at this modern artist.
The Museum also has an extensive contemporary art exhibit at the same time (on the first floor). This Museum has just one or two works from a major artist; this contrasts with the downtown Metropolitan Museum of Art which has entire rooms devoted to a single artist. This allows you to get through the Brooklyn Museum in a single day; you might need to go downtown to see a given artist in detail.
