The run-down: The Brooklyn Historical Society is located within a building built in 1881 which is recognized as a National Historic Landmark and is dedicated to, well, the history of Brooklyn.As per the BHS, they have "the most comprehensive collection of Brooklyn-related materials in existence".
What was cool about the Museum: This is gonna sound weird (because it is), but I really loved the way the museum smelled. (Told you it was weird) You'll understand when you visit. I also loved the Inventing Brooklyn exhibit, created by HIGH SCHOOL students (participating in the Society's Ex Lab program), chronicling hundreds of years of Brooklyn history.
What I could have done without: It was actually hard to find anything I didn't like about the BHS. Admission was reasonable, the exhibits were informative and interesting, the staff was friendly, and the space was welcoming.
