Introduction

The Brooklyn Museum is New York City's second-largest art museum, housed in an Egyptian Revival landmark on Eastern Parkway and one of the city's first institutions built specifically for art. While its ancient Egyptian collection has fewer objects than the Met's, it is arguably richer in masterpieces and is among the most coveted ancient-Egyptian art holdings anywhere. It is also celebrated for its American and contemporary art, a prominent Decorative Arts collection, and free monthly 'First Saturdays' community programs, with 'pay-what-you-wish' general admission.
