"At 560,000 square feet, Brooklyn Museum is the third largest museum in New York City, and one of the its great institutions. Housed in a Beaux-Arts building from 1897, it sits on the edge of Prospect Park, inviting for spontaneous walk-ins. With 1.5 million works as part of the collection, just about every form of art is represented here. Particular standouts include its selection of paintings by Dennis Hopper and Norman Rockwell, and a top-notch Egyptian artifacts gallery." - Andrea Whittle, Charlie Hobbs
"At the edge of Prospect Heights is one of Brooklyn’s largest institutions and one of our favorite museums. With over 560,000 square feet of exhibits, it’s NYC’s second largest museum in physical size, with an art collection holding roughly 1.5 million works. Their rotating exhibits are often cutting-edge and feature many new and upcoming artists. Some of our favorite shows over the last few years have been: Faile, Basquiat, Kehinde Wiley, Swoon, Ai Wei Wei and El Anatsui. The museum is also home to a fantastic gift shop and Michelin-starred Sam Boulton’s restaurant, “Saul”. As artists and designers, we often dream about getting one of our works into this museum. Fingers are crossed." - Aki Carpenter & Chris Huban
"The Brooklyn symphony orchestra is hosting a free concert in the plaza of the Brooklyn Museum on Sunday, August 15th from 2-4pm. If you want to visit the museum before or after the show, you’ll need to reserve tickets though. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation
