EXCITING OPENINGS AND ENGAGING VIRTUAL EVENTS THIS FALL

Despite the city’s shutdown, New York City continues to be a cultural center and a hub for artists, performers and visionaries. We have exciting virtual programs and physical re-openings that are sure to make your fall even more spectacular.

NOW OPEN TO THE PUBLIC

Brooklyn Museum

We reopened to the public on September 12 and were so excited to see a wonderful turnout from our visitors, cherished members, and surrounding community. In a time of great uncertainty and profound isolation, I'm hopeful that visitors will continue to look to the Museum to find comfort during these trying times, and that our exhibitions and many new programs that we've launched outside on our plaza remain a source of inspiration and fun.

David Berliner, President and Chief Operating Officer

Brooklyn Museum is once again open to the public! Book your timed tickets online and prepare for a safe visit.

#sunsetscreenings

NOTE: Screenings may be cancelled because of inclement weather.

We invite Brooklyn Museum visitors, neighbors, and passersby to an outdoor exhibition of major video artworks by artists in our collection, as well as key loans, exploring themes of power and uncertainty, distance and loss, and history’s hand in our present times. The artworks are presented in evening screenings on the Museum plaza—our “front stoop”—providing a safe place to gather, rest, and encounter art, while also acknowledging the critical role that public spaces play for idea-sharing, community-building, and democracy.
