Visit the Brooklyn Museum

The Brooklyn Museum, a cultural institution with a long history in our city, is celebrating its 200th anniversary.

During this month of October, several events and activities have been scheduled to celebrate the occasion, and you can enjoy it too.

The Brooklyn Museum was founded in 1824 and was originally called the Brooklyn Apprentice Library Association.

It became what it is today, and in the 1890s it was moved to its current location on Eastern Parkway

The Brooklyn Museum’s mission, as described on its website, is to “bring people together through art and experiences that inspire celebration, compassion, courage, and the will to engage.”

Their vision is “to be the place where art is a powerful force for personal transformation and social change.”

The museum is located at 200 Eastern Parkway, and to get there we recommend using public transportation.

You can take the 2 and 3 trains to the Eastern Parkway/Brooklyn Museum station. Also take the 4 and 5 trains to Franklin Avenue and a short walk to get to the museum

The closest bus stops to the museum are at Grand Army Plaza for the B41 and B69 buses, and at St. Johns Place at Washington Avenue for the B45 bus.
