Brooklyn Museum
The Brooklyn Museum stands on land that is part of the unceded, ancestral homeland of the Lenape (Delaware) people. As a sign of respect, we recognize and honor the Lenape (Delaware) Nations, their elders past and present, and future generations. We are committed to addressing exclusions and erasures of Indigenous peoples, and confronting the ongoing legacies of settler colonialism in the Museum’s work.
Our Mission
To bring people together through art and experiences that inspire celebration, compassion, courage, and the will to act.
Our Vision
To be the place where art is a powerful force for personal transformation and social change.
