Brooklyn Museum
New York's second-largest art museum, famous for its Egyptian collection and feminist art, and next to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.
The Brooklyn Museum opened in 1897 and is the second-largest art museum in New York City by area. Its Ancient Egyptian galleries hold one of the finest Egyptian collections in the United States, including mummies, statues, and papyrus documents. The Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art permanently displays Judy Chicago's landmark installation The Dinner Party. The museum is also known for its cutting-edge special exhibitions on fashion and street culture. The suggested admission is about $20 for adults, and the museum is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. On the first Saturday evening of each month, free music and performances are offered. Take the 2/3 train to Eastern Parkway–Brooklyn Museum, right at the exit. You can also combine it with the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and Prospect Park.
