The Brooklyn Museum, located in the heart of Brooklyn, New York, is one of the oldest and largest art museums in the United States. Established in 1895, it boasts an extensive collection of over 1.5 million works, ranging from ancient Egyptian masterpieces to contemporary art. The museum’s Beaux-Arts building, designed by the renowned architectural firm McKim, Mead & White, is a landmark in its own right, reflecting the grandeur and ambition of its founders.
