Brooklyn Museum

"This is a very beautiful museum. Some of the art here is truly captivating. This is a large museum so you'd need a full day to tour it in its entirety or you can come spontaneously throughout you stay in NY if you're not a native. There is exclusive parking for visitors. Train station is just outside the museum's doors. The food here is good as well if you plan on dining during your visit."

"I went to see the money exhibit and it is spectacular. It is absolutely worth the additional fee. The photos at the end are from that temporary exhibit. I was really happy to see quite a few other artists and their depiction of Venice, alongside the ones by Monet. They are rearrange the permanent collection since I was last there and I really liked the new format a lot. There’s a lot of great artworks in here. If you’re short of time on your first trip to New York, and you have to pick between the Met and here, you probably want to go to the Met. But if it’s a follow up trip for you and you haven’t been here yet, it’s worth your time to come out."

"Very nice cafe just inside the museum entrance. Great place to take a halftime break from seeing all the wonderful works of art without having to leave the museum. They serve all types of coffee drinks, have pastries, and even hot dishes with rice and chicken. As for the museum, there are so many paintings/ exhibits of various styles, origins, ages to mention. Everything cannot be truly enjoyed in one day. We will be back."
