Beautiful building inside and out. There are various interesting exhibits spread across three floors and a small library.

When I visited, there was an exhibit on Brooklyn's humble beginnings and its history of slavery, stories on the sewers of the borough and the challenges of maintaining them, and recovered photographs showing a day in the life of Truman Capote.

The museum staff are extremely pleasant and helpful. Admission is pay-as-you-wish.
