About this venue

The Brooklyn Museum stands on land that is part of the unceded, ancestral homeland of the Lenape (Delaware) people. As a sign of respect, we recognize and honor the Lenape (Delaware) Nations, their elders past and present, and future generations. We are committed to addressing exclusions and erasures of Indigenous peoples, and confronting the ongoing legacies of settler colonialism in the Museum’s work. One of the largest art museums in the country, the Brooklyn Museum is a fantastic venue for your next event located in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn. With three unique spaces and a capacity of 880, our venue provides an excellent environment for anything from wedding ceremonies and receptions, cocktail parties, or corporate events.

Martha A. and Robert S. Rubin Pavilion

Our mission is to create inspiring encounters with art that expand the ways we see ourselves, the world and its possibilities.

Redesigned in 2004 by Polshek Partnership Architects, this modern, elegant space features an expansive sheer glass pavilion that overlooks our welcoming public plaza. The brick piers dividing the pavilion and adjacent lobby are the same bricks that once enclosed our five front doors, excavated, restored, and permanently exposed in the space. This grand pavilion artfully melds the historical and contemporary components of the building.
