Suggestions for 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.

Celestine M. • January 20, 2018Great place for kids and adults. Shows change frequently (good thing) so be sure to check their website before you go.

Eartha G. • January 13Fun for the whole family

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

Mike K. • February 29, 2016Definitely worth a stop in. Interesting info on the river and the area. Make a $1-2 donation. It's a good cause

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

Andrew C. • May 10, 2018Visited for a private event and is BEAUTIFUL!!!! I quickly walked thru the museum (since bathroom is downstairs, thru the exhibits) and all history readings seemed very in depth, plus many artifacts!!

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.

Mefody • March 3Great building and show

Renae M. • November 8, 2015Super tiny, quirky art museum in a laneway. Use the audio guide, it brings it to life.

Shaelyn A. • April 28, 2013If you get lucky, the lights will be on in the station as the downtown 6 makes its loop through.

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.

Benjamin H. • September 18, 2017Carmelo sure knows how to throw a fun party! Kids love him!

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.

Judith M. • April 28, 2022It’s on Cortland Alley But It’s Never Open Tried To See It Again Last Week
