The Brooklyn Museum is world renowned for its collection of ancient Egyptian artifacts, but it has a growing reputation for presenting intellectually stimulating and socially provocative exhibitions representing the current Zeitgeist. In addition to housing great works of art, the Brooklyn Museum fosters new artistic growth through educational opportunities for children, teens, and adults predicated on engagement and showcasing the creativity alive in our community. As one of the largest and oldest museums in the country, the Brooklyn Museum takes pride in presenting “the rich artistic heritage of world cultures,” a mission that embodies the diverse and collective spirit of Brooklyn.
