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...

An overall amazing experience. I've been here years ago and I love the fact that everything always change. They provide exhibits on things happening now from amazing artist from all over. A lot of walking will happen and you will also need to present you vaccination card for entry. Make sure you are wearing proper footwear and expect that they are following safety protocols. Absolutely amazing and educating experience. Definitely would recommend taking the trip.

ON THE MUSEUM’S FIFTH FLOOR, just off yet more solemnly sober portraits of wealthy colonialists, is one of America’s oddest museum features: a heavy sampling of the Brooklyn Museum’s hidden collections and artifacts. It’s some of the stuff that cannot fit on the institution’s walls and display cases, and includes formal art, as well as more mundane objects such as a dozen old-school alarm and wall clocks. The items are professionally lit and arranged but are stacked high to evoke the cramped feelings of a rich uncle’s attic or a warehouse on Indiana Jones’ to-do list. The curators had fun with this space, and it shows!
