Museums in Kings County

Museums & Art Galleries

Kings County offers a diverse range of cultural institutions, from the world-renowned Egyptian collections and feminist art at the Brooklyn Museum to the decommissioned 1936 subway station housing the New York Transit Museum. The selection spans 18th-century Dutch colonial history at the Lefferts Historic House, site-specific robotic installations in Red Hook, and contemporary African Diasporan works. These venues showcase Brooklyn's transformation through historic architecture, street art murals in Coney Island, and its deep-rooted connection to performing arts and hip-hop culture.
