Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art, Feminist art museum in Brooklyn Museum, United States.
The Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art is an art museum within the Brooklyn Museum, occupying four floors with exhibition spaces dedicated to works by female artists. The collection showcases various artistic styles and perspectives that engage with gender relations and creative expression.
The center was founded in 2007 and became one of the first public institutions in the United States to dedicate space specifically to female artists and feminist perspectives. This establishment marked an important moment in recognizing women creators within major museum institutions.
The center displays works that question gender and power, showing how female artists express their experiences through various mediums and materials. You can see how feminist creators use everyday objects and personal narratives to make their art speak to larger social issues.
The center is located on the fourth floor of the Brooklyn Museum and is accessible through the main museum entrance. Rotating exhibitions and educational programs run throughout the year, offering different ways to engage with the work on display.
The Dinner Party, a well-known installation by Judy Chicago, is displayed on the Heritage Floor and honors historical female figures through carefully crafted place settings. The work remains a powerful example of how artists use materials like ceramics and textiles to explore history and identity.
