What people say, in short
People call the Brooklyn Museum great and definitely worth it, and a couple urge setting aside a full day. One highly recommended an exhibit on Afro-Cuban identity and femininity, another says its early American galleries deliberately mix in Indigenous and African American works, and a couple point to its First Saturdays evenings with music. Several pair it with the Brooklyn Botanic Garden next door. A few rate the Met higher, while still calling this one great.
