About Brooklyn Museum of Art

The Brooklyn Museum, housed in a 560,000-square-foot, Beaux-Arts building, is one of the oldest and largest art museums in the country. Its world-renowned permanent collections range from ancient Egyptian masterpieces to contemporary art, and represent a wide range of cultures.

A first-of-its-kind new socially networked Membership tier has been created at the Brooklyn Museum and will debut on January 3, 2009 at Target First Saturdays. The program, known as 1stfans, will offer paperless benefits through the social networks Facebook, Flickr, and Twitter, as well as exclusive live events at the Museum's monthly Target First Saturdays, all for an annual fee of $20.

Currently there are eight Brooklyn Museum membership categories ranging from Individual Membership at $55 a year and Family and Friends at $85 through Director's Circle at $2,500 to Benefactors Circle at $5,000.
