The Brooklyn Museum of Art is part of a complex of nineteenth-century parks and gardens that also includes Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, and the Prospect Park Zoo. McKim, Mead & White won the 1893 competition for the museum's design, envisioning a monumental Beaux-Arts structure. The original design was meant to house comprehensive collections of art, natural history, and science objects, as well as myriad educational and research activities. The ambitious building plan, had it been fully realized, would have produced the largest single museum structure in the world.
