Peer into a mysterious scene within Trailer by artist Liza Lou. In her paintings, sculptures, and installations rigorously assembled from glass beads, Lou interrogates notions of power, myth, and gender in the United States. Marshaling time itself as a material, the artist both illuminates acts of invisible labor and encourages discovery: in Trailer , an eerie narrative emerges. On public view for the first time in a decade, Trailer is a major addition to the Brooklyn Museum’s collection. The work fills the interior of a 1949 Spartan Royal Mansion mobile trailer stationed in the Museum’s entry pavilion. Inside, the colors are limited to replicate the allure and intensity of Hollywood film noir. Everything is rendered in glass beads, from the furniture, typewriter, and glossy men’s magazines to the guitar, guns, and shots of whiskey. Trailer thus demands close looking—at both its intricacy and its allusions, questioning what is revealed and what is hidden. Like pixels, the beads dazzle and coalesce into shapes and patterns, forming a sinister spectacle that examines masculinity, despair, isolation, and obsession.

Newly interpreted galleries span three floors, linking the Wing’s holdings from the 17th to 20th century and highlighting relevant, meaningful stories.

From groundbreaking early acquisitions to striking new additions, the Brooklyn Museum’s collection has always championed artists and artworks that catalyze imaginative storytelling and brave conversations. As we ring in our 200th anniversary , Breaking the Mold: Brooklyn Museum at 200 celebrates this unique legacy. Comprising three chapters that boast both longtime favorites and brand-new standouts, the exhibition brings fresh narratives to the fore while exploring the collection’s rich history and future evolution. Brooklyn Made is an homage to art and design created in the borough from the 17th century to today. Beginning with a Delaware bandolier bag that acknowledges the land’s original inhabitants, this chapter journeys through time to spotlight works by active Brooklyn artists such as Duke Riley, Rashid Johnson, Tourmaline, and Thaddeus Wolfe. Building the Brooklyn Museum and Its Collection features transformational artworks and archival materials that trace the development of the collection as well as the Beaux-Arts building that houses it. Gifts of Art in Honor of the 200th showcases extraordinary contemporary works—paintings, photographs, video, sculpture, ceramics, and more—given to us by valued donors in honor of our bicentennial. Exemplary pieces by well-established artists such as Derrick Adams, Julie Mehretu, Robert Frank, Alex Katz, Joel Sternfeld, and Coco Fusco are joined by contributions from influential artists working today, many in Brooklyn. Telling the Museum’s story along with their own, these works reveal how the collection continues to reflect our changing world.

Exhibition. Through Feb 21, 2027. In Odili Donald Odita’s new large-scale commission in MoMA’s lobby, bright colors and abstract patterns create a cascading kaleidoscope. And for the first time in the artist’s unfolding process, music serves as the primary source of inspiration. “Music inspires me to think through problems in my paintings,” Odita has said. Songs from Life was painted over the course of six weeks, with visitors able to see the site-specific work emerging across the walls and columns. Executed with flat acrylic latex paint, the floor-to-ceiling installation provides an immersive experience, with Odita describing its colors as expressions of freedom and change. Each painted section is anchored by a selection of songs that expand on the artist’s conception of MoMA’s lobby as a gathering space for people from different walks of life. “There’s a sort of energy that is communal because of the way music can affect the body,” Odita has said. “That’s how I want to make my paintings work, too.”

A lamplit sanctuary amid the bustle of Brooklyn—and a refuge in uncertain times—the Rubin Museum Tibetan Buddhist Shrine Room is a place to learn, reflect, and seek inspiration. The installation presents more than 100 artworks and ritual objects as they would be displayed in an elaborate household shrine, where devotees make offerings, pray, and meditate. Scroll paintings ( thangkas ), sculptures, furniture, and musical instruments dating from the 12th to 21st century are carefully arranged according to Tibetan Buddhist tradition. Chanted prayers by monks and nuns reflect the ritual practices and remind visitors that Buddhist rituals engage all the senses. More than one million people experienced the Shrine Room when it was exhibited in its original location, the Rubin Museum of Himalayan Art in Manhattan, from 2013 to 2024. To ensure New York City residents and visitors can continue to enjoy this space, it has been given a new home at the Brooklyn Museum. The immersive installation will welcome guests within the Arts of Asia galleries for six years. A virtual exploration of the Shrine Room allows visitors worldwide to enjoy this evocative sanctuary from home.

Installation. Nov 14, 2025–Sep 30, 2026. Influenced by underground comix, 1990s anime, and shōjo manga, Julien Ceccaldi’s fantastic compositions capture the discomfort, melodrama, and romance of contemporary social life. City streets, skyrise apartments, steam rooms, cocktail lounges, and sidewalk cafés provide the settings for many of the stories that unfold across his drawings, paintings, and self-published comics, lending his work the contours of realism. For this commission, Ceccaldi was inspired by street scenes in modernist paintings from MoMA’s collection. His playfully skewed, life-size geometries reference United Productions of America (UPA), a mid-20th-century animation studio and Disney rival. UPA depicted modern architectures in their televised series, commercials, and theatrical shorts to evoke the progress and possibilities of life after World War II. In this window into the rapid hustle of our present day, Ceccaldi’s recurring characters—the cosmopolitan thirty-somethings Hay’dée, Simon, and Thomas—engage in flirtatious conversation and devious observation. In the midst of it all, the pensive Francis indulges in a moment of solitary pleasure.
