	Brooklyn Museum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Brooklyn Museum, located at 200 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, New York, is the second largest art museum in New York City, and one of the largest in the United States.
		Opened in 1897, the Brooklyn Museum building is a steel frame structure—built to the standards of classical masonry—designed by the famous architectural firm of McKim, Mead, and White and built by the Carlin Construction Company.
		Located in Central Brooklyn, the museum is a half-hour from midtown Manhattan, and is serviced by the Eastern Parkway-Brooklyn Museum IRT subway 2/3 station, and the nearby Botanic Garden station of the BMT Franklin Avenue Shuttle.

	Online NewsHour: The Art of Controversy -- October 8, 1999
		After a report on "Sensation," a controversial exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum of Art, a museum director and a culture critic debate.
		Today, a federal court in Brooklyn heard the museum's plea for an injunction to block the city's actions against its lease and funding until the entire exhibition issue is resolved.
		For the first time in the course of that lease, the Brooklyn Museum has violated that obligation to put on an exhibit that really is to have open access to the public, to train young people in artistic things, and to really put on an appropriate show for the citizens of the city.

	Brooklyn Museum of Art Entry and Plaza - Wired New York Forum
		With the removal of the grand stair in the 1930s, the entrance to the Museum was shifted to grade level, and the original entry sequence lost.
		When the Brooklyn Museum was designed in 1893, it was intended to be six times larger than it is. McKim, Mead andamp; White's grandiose master plan for it was truncated by the 1898 merger between the cities of Brooklyn and New York, which siphoned ambitions and funds to the other side of the East River.
		With the completion of the Brooklyn Museum's new entrance pavilion, the city has gained one of the most attractive public spaces to be found anywhere in town.

	Park Slope, Brooklyn (1)
		The park is the chief playground of Brooklyn, with picnic grounds, tennis courts, baseball diamonds, ponds, a zoo, a lagoon, parade grounds, bandstand, gravel walks, and broad driveways.
		The city of Brooklyn purchased most of the area in 1859 at a cost of nearly four million dollars from the Litchfield estate, whose mansion serves as borough headquarters of the Park Department.
		A progressive directorship has widened the cultural ties between the museum and the community; in the words of the director, "the whole museum is conceived as a place for enjoyment, recreation and education, not as an exclusive palace where art is remote from the common touch."

		At Brooklyn, "The Dinner Party" will appear from Sept. 20 through Feb. 9 in the Cantor galleries on the fifth floor rotunda, a space reserved for the museum's collection of Rodin sculptures (currently on view in Japan).

		I traveled to Brooklyn as much to satisfy my curiosity as to show my support for the museum and its courage to withstand the volleys from these hopeful politicians and "born-agains".
		The Brooklyn Museum is quite large and has a facade painted to resemble the famous pair of eyes adorning a Buddhist Temple in Katmandu in Nepal - a sight that has welcomed so many other pilgrims.
		For some reason, the museum positions a guard in front of this exhibit who instructs people to "keep moving." It makes you feel that you are looking at something that you ought not to see.
