OverviewThe Brooklyn Museum of Art will be 100 years old in 1997. When first built by the prestigious New York firm of McKim, Mead and White, it occupied 450,000 sq.ft. on Brooklyn's Grand Army Plaza. It was designed as the largest cultural edifice in the world, and if it had been finished to its original specifications it would have surpassed even the Louvre in size and grandeur. The Brooklyn Museum of Art contains more than one-and-a-half million objects ranging from ancient Egyptian masterpieces to contemporary art. It has particularly strong holdings of ancient Egyptian and 19th-and 20th-century American art; but it has representative collections of almost every culture.This new companion volume to the museum will provide a fitting publication to celebrate its past, present and the future in its centenary year.
