Art cyclopedia: The Fine Art Search Engine. Category:Museo archeologico nazionale (Naples) Brooklyn Museum. History[edit] The roots of the Brooklyn Museum extend back to the 1823 founding by Augustus Graham of the Brooklyn Apprentices’ Library in Brooklyn Heights.
The Library moved into the Brooklyn Lyceum building on Washington Street in 1841; the institutions merged two years later to form the Brooklyn Institute, which offered exhibitions of painting and sculpture and lectures on diverse subjects.
