Day 7.2 - Brooklyn Museum

Placeholder. It's a big museum and I got through all but the top floor, helped by the fact that a large section was shut off for some huge banquet that was happening that evening.

Probably the first museum that didn't focus on the art of dead white Anglo dudes. It has an extensive collection of African, Asian, Islamic and Egyptian art. The dead white Anglo dudes art was mostly in the area that was closed off, with the gorgeous huge atrium.

Anyway, I'll get to it in due course. Lots of masks and faces, so I think I'll do a special post on masks/sculpture of heads later on.
