Das Brooklyn Museum zählt zu den ältesten und größten Kunstmuseen der Vereinigten Staaten und ist in einem monumentalen Beaux-Arts-Bau untergebracht, der von McKim, Mead & White entworfen und 1897 eröffnet wurde. Die enzyklopädische Sammlung umfasst rund 500.000 Objekte, darunter einen weltberühmten Bestand altägyptischer Kunst, amerikanische und europäische Malerei, afrikanische und asiatische Kunst sowie zeitgenössische Werke. Zudem beherbergt das Museum das Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art, das um Judy Chicagos wegweisende Installation The Dinner Party errichtet wurde.
