I was in NY in 2007 and i went to see the Brooklyn Museum (I was staring in park Slope, so i just walk) i saw that there was a scheduled tour at 1 pm so i waited for a while and then i saw this AMAZING display and i am in AWE of the stories behind the details of this exhibit. I bow to the people who created this tribute to women, Mabuhay kayo!

Thank you for building such a fabulous home for The Dinner Party--it's been homeless for so long that it's refreshing to see it get the fanfare it deserves.

Last Wednesday, 5/6, when spending the day in Brooklyn at Botanical Gardens and then Brooklyn Museum, to my surprise The Dinner Party is part of the permanent collection! Amazing and wonderful and exhibited perfectly. The cell phone tour of the piece is genius....hopefully this type of access to an augmented auditory tour via cell phone will become more common. It's great!

Why aren't the Macdonald sisters represented in this piece? Margaret and Frances Macdonald were two very influential women in art. I love Judy Chicago and The Dinner Party but I think these two names should be added.

I love the exhibit. I think a women should be represent by the vagina. The Vagina symbolized the exit from the womb and the emergence of life. I don't agree with most of the other comments about why wasn't this person added or How come that person was not added. The exhibit for me was not about adding every woman and goddess to the table but more of a reminder of what lives in the spirit and heart of a real woman. The dinner is a representation of what many women do not do in our society today. We look at each other with envy and hate for reasons that don't matter. We as women bear life and nurture children (female and male). This is a gift that should be cherished and women of the ancient should be acknowledge. This exhibit is a reminder of not just the goddess and women honored at the Dinner Party, but of all women famous or not. This is one exhibit that I will remember forever.
