★★★★★Couples
“It was our first time in the Brooklyn Museum and I will be back for sure (my husband probably not). The building is beautiful and full of light, the spacing between objects of art is perfect and the lighting is excellent as well.”
★Family
“Disappointing museum. They have the largest Egyptology collection in us…but others than that I don’t think it’s worth the. Trip…”
★★★★★Solo travel
“Nestled beside the organic garden, this remarkable museum easily holds its own against any top-tier institution. Its extensive and impressive program featuring American artists makes it an absolute must-visit.”
★★★★★Family
“The website states prices, but when we showed up, staff stated it was pay what you can. Definitely a must see!! Amazing collections and loved the themes with the works they had. I loved seeing the glimpse of the stored artifacts so you could see how vast their collections really are.”
