We went especially for the local Brooklyn artists exhibit. There was such a great variety of talent! Congrats on 200 years and wishing many more! Full review by MzSmitty1

Brooklyn is a great place and lucky to have this great museum. Get ready for a pricey ticket for the privilege of walking thru the woke side of racism via master pieces. Being from the mid-west I'm… Full review by peeper1009

Is it allowed to check luggage at the Brooklyn Museum? We are planning on visiting theee on our last day in NYC, right before heading to LaGuardia Airport. Being able to leave our bags at the coat check (we will each have 1 suitcase with us) would make everything go smoothly.

Apologies. Just saw your question. This response may be moot at this point. I don't know the answer. Digging through the museum's website I saw nothing on left luggage. I did searches with a number of terms. It doesn't mean they don't have it. Since 9/11 I believe that many organizations have stopped offering that.
On Saturday July 7, i understand the Bowie exhibit advance tickets are sold out. What time do we need to get there to get walk-up tickets? Will those tickets be for entrance later in the day? Thanks

I went on Sunday, July 9th. We arrived at 10:30 and stood on a very long line until the museum opened at 11am. Even then, the time we got for the Bowie exhibit was 1:30. We had drinks at the Norm restaurant in the museum. We toured floors 1, 3, and 4. Then headed to the 5th floor. While most of the museum was refrigerator cold, there was no air conditioning at the Bowie exhibit. Again, we were faced with long lines in spite of the timed entry ticket. We ended up being admitted to the Bowie exhibit more than an hour after our 1:30 time slot. What is very cool is the sound system in the headsets they give you. What is not cool is how many people they permit in, and how dark it was. Someone stepped on my toe. Ouch! We couldn’t get close enough to see some of the exhibits. I would have felt safer if they had better crowd control.

I would call the museum for current information. Probably get there as early as possible.
I’m buying the “standard” ticket for the Bowie exhibit. How flexible is the museum with your scheduled time. If I buy a ticket for 3:00, do I have to get there exactly at 3:00? Thanks
A:
I can only base on my experience. We showed up at the exhibition on time, but waited in a queue for at least 20 min before our passes were scanned and we entered.
