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

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.

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.

We came specifically to see the exhibit Giants: Art from the Dean Collection of Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys. What an amazing collection. My only issue was that for the photography some of the lighting was placed in a way that it glared onto the picture, requiring you to look at it from an angle. From that exhibit we went to explore the others floors. It has an array of objects, more than we could fully appreciate with the time we had. We’ll definitely plan a return visit.

We met two friends for the temporary exhibit of photos by Paul McCartney. For those who remember the early days of the Beatles, this is great fun. We also saw a beautiful small collection of Japanese ceramics . We treated ourselves to the temporary and extra cost exhibit of the collection of Swizz Beats and Alicia Keys. This is first rate. We admired somethings in the permanent collection, enjoyed the largest KAWS I have ever seen in the lobby and had lunch in the cafe. I should visit more often. The 2 and 3 subways stops ten feet from the door.

The Brooklyn Museum was a pleasant surprise. It's small (relative to museums in Manhattan) and relatively simple, but it's well organized, the collection is unique, and the people are very nice. We went to see the Hiroshige wood block prints (100 Views of Tokyo) and would have liked to stay for more. We arrived mid-day on a Saturday and saw street parking within walking distance of the museum. We parked in the parking lot behind the museum and noticed that it was only about 1/2 full.

We visited the Brooklyn Museum specifically for the Sir Paul McCartney photography exhibit. We were staying in Manhattan and it was a very easy train ride that stopped right outside of the museum entrance. The exhibit was phenomenal with so many cool photos and memories. Other than the photos, my favorite part was watching & listening to older guests who had their own Beatle stories, remembering the iconic visit to NYC. You could still see the excitement on the faces as they looked 60 years younger in telling their memories. It was such an amazing part of our visit. We are so very glad we took the train to see this iconic exhibition. FYI, one of my pix is the handwritten lyrics from Paul.

I visited the Brooklyn Museum for a special program that was running with special guest, jazz singer Patty Grant. She was an excellent entertainer who knows how to engage a crowd. I have never heard such an up beat and spiritual singer who knew how to read a crowd. In a time of such separation she brought a diverse crowd of patrons together with music and laughter. What an inspiring woman. I am glad that the museum has such a wonderful array of entertainment. It was nice to be uplifting by such a spirited woman.

I'm a born and bred New Yorker but I've never been to the Brooklyn Museum (because it's so far!) This was my first time at the Brooklyn Museum because my friend wanted to see Hiroshige’s 100 Famous Views of Edo (feat. Takashi Murakami) exhibit before it closed. The museum is larger than I expected; beautiful space with well curated exhibits. The Hiroshige exhibit was well organized and well structured, and I also saw the Paul McCartney Photographs as well, which was pretty cool. The Egyptian collection was more extensive than I expected and I was impressed, especially the funerary exhibit. Fascinating and very interesting.

A group of friends travel from Baltimore to Manhattan and Brooklyn for a double hitter. First we went for the last weekend exhibit of an African American artist tribute collection. Then we went to see the new broadway show “ Hell’s kitchen.”. Both events were great experiences.
