In the article, the Brooklyn Museum's exterior picture is from June 2005, I took two pictures of the exterior of the Brooklyn Museum as it stands February 2007. Should I go ahead and add the picture in the place of the previous picture? --PaladinHero101:30, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

• Why not? If it more accurate and/or better composed. Of the present picture, while it is decent, 'm not fond of most of the facade of the building being in shadow. Also, the camera was slightly tilted, which I find disquieting. (My humble opinion). —Gosgood14:32, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia Loves Art

Please note this museum is participating in theWikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art(Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art/Brooklyn Museum rules). All interested editors are invited to participate in this project.--_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus|talk}18:33, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Digital Programs

The museum has a variety of interesting digital projects and programs, some involved with Wikipedia like Wikipedia Loves Art,WikiPopand their own online catalogue which encourages users to tag and organize the objects as they see fit. Additionally, they were one of the first American museums to release a free mobile iOS app (June 2010). I'd like to include this information under "Programs" rather than "populist directions" because iPhone Apps are becoming standard, and it seems as these museum accessibility programs are separate from curatorial decisions that could be labeled 'populist'. --Daedalus042(talk)20:33, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Working with the Brooklyn Museum to improve this article

Following on our previous cooperative efforts, we were contacted by the Brooklyn Museum about ways to improve the quality of this still shortish article, in ethical keeping with our guidelines (and as we did earlier with theJewish Museum). I suggested that they send us some background notes which would:

1. let us know what clear inaccuracies or omissions there may be
2. aid us in improving the overall quality of the article by pointing us to a few published sources that we can use to build up a good summary of the museum's work and history.

I've gotten a good response from them, and I will shortly start integrating some of the material pointed out in their background notes, and I hope other folks can help us to improve this further. We, the Wikipedians, will of course be the ones writing the actual neutral article.--Pharos(talk)02:41, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Size

Looks like the information on the size of the Museum was incorrect saying we were the second largest art museum in the city.

Met = 2,000,000 square feet. MoMA = 630,000 square feet Brooklyn = 560,000 square feet

Our number of square feet is listed correctly, but we’re the third-largest (art museum) in physical size (not second-largest), so this correction was made to the page by museum staff.— Precedingunsignedcomment added byShelleyb7(talk•contribs)16:57, 15 September 2015 (UTC)

Populism section

The sectionPopulism,while relatively balanced, is based almost entirely on a single newspaper articlethat analyzes attendance patterns at the museum through subjective opinions, pro and con, regarding the museum's exhibition program. As such, the section mainly documents perspectives about the museum's management policies of that moment, rather than established consensus about its history, collections or audience. Lehman is no longer director of the museum.

The fact-based frame for the section--the decline in attendance during a period in time--is undermined by the museum's attendance subsequent to the date of article (e.g., 540,000 in 2014).Museum attendance is inherently variable.

I suggest the section be deleted.

Asian art

I added a section on Asian art to the article; the museum has a large collection. But I don't have time to add selections. There are a lot to choose from. I hope someone else can add a few. Thanks.Letita Bodicia(talk)15:16, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
