Brooklyn Museum

Since the majority of artists in New York City reside and work in Brooklyn, the Brooklyn Museum, one of the best museums in NYC, rivals museums found in Manhattan (even The Metropolitan Museum) with its own incredible exhibits and galleries.

Brooklyn's top institution is a less crowded substitute for Manhattan's more famous locations, but the ground-breaking and significant works you'll find there are just as significant as anything you'll find in the city. The museum, which is situated on the outskirts of expansive Prospect Park, houses a sizable collection of Egyptian art in addition to Judy Chicago's well-known feminist work The Dinner Party. Works by such Impressionists masters as Cézanne, Monet and Degas are also included in the collection along with with prime examples of Early American Art, period rooms and so much more.

Due to the Museum's designation as a historical landmark, it was difficult to preserve the floor's historical significance while keeping it structurally sound. Furthermore, the vulnerable glass-block floor (effectively the Hall's ceiling) beneath the Great Hall, which is directly beneath the Court, has had its protective panels removed, revealing the original coffering. The amount of light transmitted is not noticeably altered, and the view upward to the original glass blocks from the Great Hall is essentially as it was when it was first constructed.
