Review:

Designed by New York architects McKim, Mead & White, the Brooklyn Museum aimed to be the largest cultural edifice in the world. While only one-sixth of it was completed, the museum today is one of the most influential cultural institutions in the United States and is home to a permanent encyclopedic collection of over one million pieces. The museum houses one of the finest and most extensive art collections in the country, including a unique selection of Native American art from the Southwest, American period rooms, exquisite pieces of ancient Egyptian, Islamic, and African art, and essential American and European paintings. Innovative, cutting-edge exhibitions and programs showcase a contemporary view of historical and traditional as well as modern works, and offer engagement with some of today’s most important artists and ideas.
