Suggestions for History Museum near Downtown Brooklyn, Brooklyn

The Transit Navigator • September 24, 2011Best of the Best! EduConcierge's all-time favorite museum! See the history of the subway, methods of fare collection, and tour old subway cars in this former subway station. It's an absolute must see!

Compass • April 21, 2014Equal parts museum, library, and educational touchpoint, the 150-year-old history hub hosts highbrow artist talks, quirky hot dog history tours, and everything in between.

Pablo C. • April 13, 2015One of the best numismatic libraries. A previous appointment is indispensable.

Cari • January 16, 2013Little museum that could. Exhibits and shop are open following Sandy. Worth the stairs to see the exhibits.

Ehtesh C. • September 16, 2016Nice tiny museum. The exhibit inside talks about the Revolutionary War and the Battle of Brooklyn.

James C. • August 8, 2014Small but really informative museum that is as historic as it comes with American history. Totally worth it.

Elviola P. • February 4, 2011I love it here! You black people are very talented. I am completely amazed :) love the drawings, etc.

James C. • June 7, 2012Really cool interactive museum.

Aya R. • January 16, 2010no matter who's artist is showing here, the building alone is worth the visit.

MuseumNerd • December 10, 2011Visit the free Revolutionary War history museum atop the hill. The museum and the largest free-standing doric column in the world are designed by the lecherous Stanford White.

Fred • May 30, 2014Volunteers work hard to maintain this National Historic Landmark!

Chris B. • August 10, 2010fascinating ship docked at the South Street Seaport.

Joel W. • December 31, 2021I had a deep look around this gallery and read the website since then. He's productive, eloquent, and opinionated. None of the work strikes me as particularly amazing, challenging.
