An excellent facility forced to play second fiddle to its more glamorous Central Park sister, the Brooklyn Museum has a comprehensive collection of European and American paintings and sculptures, plus an outstanding (and well-explained) Egyptian collection. Check out the The Dinner Party by Judy Chicago, a massive ceremonial banquet arranged on a triangular table commemorating important women from history, or join the party each month on Target’s First Saturdays when thousands of New Yorkers from all five boroughs enjoy free programs of art and entertainment from 5 to 11 p.m.
