Before You Book the Brooklyn Museum’s Art of Manga

The Brooklyn Museum’s Art of Manga exhibition runs from October 3, 2026, through January 31, 2027, at 200 Eastern Parkway. This is the first major show in the Americas to explore manga as an art form, and its Brooklyn run marks the East Coast debut.

With over 600 original drawings and related works—including connections to Inuyasha, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Ōoku: The Inner Chambers, and ONE PIECE—Art of Manga is designed for both longtime manga fans and newcomers curious about the medium’s global impact.

What to Expect at Art of Manga: Dates, Scope, and Audience

Art of Manga is a large-scale exhibition, featuring more than 600 original manga drawings and examples. The Brooklyn Museum describes it as the first major exhibition of its kind in the Americas, and the East Coast debut. The show covers a wide range of manga history and genres, with works connected to well-known series such as Inuyasha, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Ōoku: The Inner Chambers, and ONE PIECE. However, not every work from these series is guaranteed to be on view, and the exhibition includes many other artists and titles.

The exhibition is suitable for adults, teens, and families, but not all works are specifically child-oriented. Manga covers a spectrum of themes and styles, so parents and guardians should be aware that some content may be more mature or complex. The museum does not rate the exhibition for age appropriateness, so previewing the exhibition description or contacting the museum for guidance is recommended if you have concerns.

Tickets, Fan Passes, and What They Offer

Timed exhibition tickets are required for entry to Art of Manga. These tickets are sold directly by the Brooklyn Museum, and prices and availability can change. The museum also offers a $75 Manga Fan Pass, which covers one adult and one guest. The Fan Pass provides unlimited entry to the exhibition (subject to availability), invitations to member previews, select program presales, discounts, and a collectible badge.

A single timed ticket is best if you plan to visit once or are unsure about returning. The Fan Pass is designed for those who want flexibility, access to special events, or the option to revisit the exhibition. However, unlimited entry is still subject to ticket availability, so it’s wise to reserve your preferred times in advance. Always confirm ticket times, gallery rules, and current prices on the museum’s website before purchasing, as policies and costs can change.

Navigating 600+ Works: Pacing Your Visit

With over 600 works on display, Art of Manga is a substantial exhibition. First-time visitors and families may want to pace themselves, focusing on sections or artists of particular interest rather than trying to see everything in one visit. The museum provides seating in most galleries, and folding stools are available at coat check for those who need to rest or take notes. If you have a Fan Pass, you can return for multiple visits, but even with a single timed ticket, planning your route and taking breaks can help you get the most out of the experience.

Accessibility, Transit, and Family Considerations

The Brooklyn Museum and the Eastern Parkway–Brooklyn Museum 2/3 subway station are wheelchair accessible. Wheelchairs and folding stools are available at coat check, and most galleries offer seating. The museum’s floor directory and staff can assist with navigation and accessibility needs. Strollers are generally permitted, but check current gallery rules before your visit.

For transit, the museum is located at 200 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, NY. The 2 and 3 subway lines stop directly at Eastern Parkway–Brooklyn Museum. Several bus lines also serve the area. If you’re driving, check the museum’s website for parking information and rates.

Confirming Your Visit: Tickets, Rules, and Cancellations

Before you go, confirm your ticket time and review the museum’s current policies on photography, food, and large bags. Timed tickets are required for entry to Art of Manga, and entry is only guaranteed for the time slot purchased. The museum’s ticketing policies, including cancellation or rescheduling options, may change, so check the latest information before your visit. If you have a Fan Pass, reserve your preferred times early, especially for weekends or holidays, as entry is still subject to availability.
