As the second largest museum in New York City, the Brooklyn Museum was established in 1896 and houses an impressive collection of more than 500,000 objects. Notable artists represented here include Norman Rockwell, Georgia O’Keefe, Winslow Homer, Edgar Degas, and more.
The museum spans a wide variety of cultures and time periods, offering all sorts of coverage from ancient Japanese masterpieces to modern art. One of the reasons the Brooklyn Museum is a hit with locals is due to the innovative rotating exhibits (that tackle social and political themes).
While you’re in the area be sure to stop by Prospect Park, one of the best parks in New York City designed by the same folks responsible for Central Park (and the one they preferred).
