• Rooftop Theater

  Occupancy: 300

  This open-air theater offers a birds-eye view of brownstone neighborhoods and the lush treetops of Brower Park. A whale-shaped wall serves as a playful backdrop to the outdoor stage. The flat performance area faces bleachers and a picnic space. It's great for performances, weddings, and warm weather community events.

• Tank Theater

  Occupancy: 60

  This cavernous corn oil tank was shipped to the Museum from the Midwest. Architects transformed it into a small theater and equipped it with a movie screen and audiovisual equipment. Carpeted steps overlook a small presentation space. It's good for films, workshops, and small group gatherings.

• The Courtyard

  Occupancy: 100

  A sunken courtyard sits below the grassy ground level behind the Museum. It's open to the sky yet tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Brooklyn streets. A bordering glass wall looks on to the colorful galleries within. It's nice for weddings or warm weather community events.
