First, in addition to being a fine museum, it’s a spectacular, beautiful piece of monumental architecture—one of my favorite buildings in NYC. Second, the location is great, right next to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and a block from Prospect Park (not to mention right across the street from my apartment). Finally, it has one of the best outdoor fountains I’ve ever seen; we Brooklynites like to sit out there all day in the sun and enjoy it.
