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!

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.

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.

If you like classical music, check out the offerings at the Brooklyn Museum. We attended an orchestra concert there, and had a fabulous afternoon in Brooklyn. There are restaurants within a couple of blocks from the museum for lunch, too. The concert featured the Brooklyn Symphony Orchestra, and a teenage Julliard sensation, Kento Hong, was the violin soloist for one of the pieces on the program. The performance was impressive, and we thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon of beautiful music! The concert ticket included admission to the exhibits of the Brooklyn Museum, but I did not know that when I booked, so I had already purchased tickets to the nearby Brooklyn Botanic Garden - we unfortunately had to forgo the museum visit. However, the combination of the museum and a symphony concert is a real bargain at under $20 per person.

We spent a few hours here on a weekend afternoon with the added bonus of a market occuring outside the museum. It's a really cool building and the variety of artwork and exhibits inside is interesting. I really enjoyed my visit.

I do love this museum and its permanent collection. But the temporary expos I visited were not museum-worthy. Too many art objects that were trivial such as dishes on the floor. Too many descriptions that were over-wrought and not suited to the subject. Very disappointing.

The museum is great , the Pablomatic exhibition excellent and the rooms specious and very quiet . The museum has a nice garden to sit and drink coffee . And the Botanical Gardens are next door . Be sure you take a combo ticket as if a lot of money . Remark : only one person sold tickets - the one for members - so all members came first even if they arrived 15 minutes later then we did . All in all I waited in the very short line for almost 25 minutes . That is bad service .

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.

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
