ICONICWe were totally entranced with an in-depth view into the world of Iris van Herpen. This exhibit is mesmerizing, iconic, and awe inspiring. The Fashion, Fabrics, Textiles, and technical majesty that go into her work is remarkable. This is what Full Stop Fashion is, in every sense of the word, Iris van Herpen delivers. Truly a connoisseur of her own genre.If you haven’t been to the Iris Van Herpen exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum there’s still plenty of time left, it runs until December. Also, you can explore the many other works of art in Brooklyn Museum.I highly recommend it.Thanks Tripsters,Chef Edwin Padilla Good Food…Good Vibes

Brooklyn Museum feels like a true big-city museum, with a grand old building right by Prospect Park and a collection that is much larger and richer than I expected. I loved how varied it was, from beautiful donated treasures to galleries that show many different cultures and periods, so it never felt repetitive. The temporary exhibitions are also a major reason to visit; a few were amzing, and even the ones that were not my favorite still added something interesting to the day. The whole place has a very unique mix of classic museum atmosphere and Brooklyn character. It is easy to spend several hours here without rushing, and the setting makes it a great stop before or after walking in the park. For anyone visiting Brooklyn, this museum is absolutely worth making time for.

Brooklyn has long been a big city and this is a big city museum with a wide-ranging collection mostly made of treasures that have been donated. They also sponsor many different temporary exhibits, some of which are quite good, others forgettable. The museum is large and in a classic building on the edge of Prospect Park.

It was our first time in the Brooklyn Museum and I will be back for sure (my husband probably not). The building is beautiful and full of light, the spacing between objects of art is perfect and the lighting is excellent as well. I was very impressed by their collection of Asian Art; especially, the Rubin Museum Tibetan Buddhist Shrine Room, which recently found its permanent home at the Brooklyn Museum. It is a beautiful tranquil shrine to relax, contemplate and forget about your worries. Their Egyptian collection is also quite impressive. The paintings and the period photographs of the Brooklyn Bridge tell the story of the great bridge which makes Brooklyn a special place. But the highlight of my visit was the fashion exhibit of Iris van Herpen: “Sculpting the Senses” which presents the extraordinary work of one of today’s most visionary fashion designers. She is a pioneer in the use of cutting-edge technologies, who brings the limits of fashion design to the whole new level. Sculpting the Senses brings together the beauty of fashion design, modern art, innovative science and technology. Iris Van Herpen finds her inspiration in nature, water, air, space as well as in the world of human feelings. Her materials are polymers, metal, leather, corals, variety of intricate fabrics, ropes… and she creates masterpieces of human imagination with them. Her exhibition was the highlight of my trip and mu husband, who doesn’t care about fashion, regretted he didn’t join me.

Disappointing museum. They have the largest Egyptology collection in us…but others than that I don’t think it’s worth the. Trip…
