Prints, Drawings and Photographs
Over the years, the collections of the Brooklyn Museum have been organized and reorganized in different ways. Collections of the former Department of Prints, Drawings, and Photographs include works on paper that may fall into other categories: American Art, European Art, Asian Art, Contemporary Art, and Photography.
The Brooklyn Museum Archives maintains a collection of historical press
releases. Many of these have been scanned and made available on our Web
site. The releases range from brief announcements to extensive articles;
images of the original releases have been included for your reference.
Please note that all the original typographical elements, including
occasional errors, have been retained. Releases may also contain errors
as a result of the scanning process. We welcome your
feedback about
corrections.
For select exhibitions, we have made available some or all of the
informative text panels written by the curator or organizer. Called
"didactics," these panels are presented to the public during the
exhibition's run, and we reproduce them here for your reference and
archival interest. Please note that any illustrations on the original
didactics have not been retained, and that the text may contain errors
as a result of the scanning process. We welcome your
feedback about
corrections.
For select exhibitions, we have made available some or all of the
objects from the Brooklyn Museum collection that were in the
installation. These objects are listed here for your reference and
archival interest, but the list may be incomplete and does not contain
