        History

        The Brooklyn Museum is an art museum in the New York City borough of Brooklyn, New York's second largest, and contains an art collection with around 500,000 objects. The museum's Beaux-Arts building was designed by McKim, Mead & White. The Brooklyn Museum was founded in 1823 as the Brooklyn Apprentices' Library and merged with the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences in 1843. The museum was conceived as an institution focused on a broad public. The Brooklyn Museum's current building dates to 1897 and has been expanded several times.
