Brooklyn Museum

Founded in 1823, today’s Brooklyn Museum continues its tradition of bringing great art and rare treasures to the public. Located in the heart of Brooklyn, the museum welcomes a widely diverse population of citizens who want to see, learn more about, and interact with the arts. Recognized as a national role model for innovative visitor engagement techniques, the museum helps visitors make meaningful connections between the exhibits and their lives, traditions, and cultures. Each year some 400,000 visitors enjoy exhibitions and programs that are as diverse and dynamic as Brooklyn itself. The museum reaches out to the community with free programs designed to engage all segments of its service area. Among program offerings are First Saturdays, a family-friendly program that gives residents an opportunity to tour the museum and enjoy music and dance programs at no charge and Click! A Crowd Curated Exhibit that invites amateur photographers to submit photos curated by volunteers.
