A real hidden gem of a museum that is FREE to the public. This showcases the Brooklyn Navy Yard's Past, Present, and Future vision. The expertly crafted exhibits are very cohesive and showcase a variety of different stories and perspectives. The historical exhibits are very detailed with good 3D models to allow you to zoom in to the past. Highly highly recommend checking this out if you're nearby.
I can't wait until this place opens back up again. Our last visit was so much fun and had a lot of great information about the U.S. Navy! We were just fascinated by everything on exhibit and the story behind the building and the entire Brooklyn Navy Yard. A must-see for any U.S. or Navy history fan.
I stumbled upon the museum while walking around the neighborhood. They really did a good job of presenting the story of the Brooklyn Navy Yard and what the place was before it rose to prominence as an important shipyard, something I had very little knowledge of prior to my visit. It's a story that spans four centuries and uncannily mirrors New York City's own story of success, decline, and re-emergence. Come visit to find out more! Allot two hours to see all exhibits at a comfortable pace. The museum is housed in a modern, eco-friendly building. Admission is FREE. The museum employees are very friendly and engaging.
Nice Museaum of the history of the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
An interesting museum, knowing nothing of the ship yards, I was interested to visit. I was able to get just the amount of information I wanted quickly, and with no admission charge. I had my daughter in a stroller, and universal access is lacking. The only way up to the entrance is around the side, where a wheelchair lift is located. The path to the lift is through coarse crushed rock which really bogged down the wheels. This would be a challenge for those in wheelchairs as well.
Building 93 is a little big bigger. But Building 91 has better horticulture. try out Building 92 and give a call after. Really curious on your thoughts.
Cool place to hang out! Came here during the open house weekend.
The room was spacious, clean and airy. It even had a terrace, with tables and chairs to enjoy the sun. You should enter from the front. Not sure if the back entrance is always open. It too was easy to find. I went for a Father's Day/Juneteenth event held by Rev. Dennis Dillon. I had a great time!Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot surePrice for adult entryFree
