Join us for a photographic walk across the Brooklyn Bridge. Once merely an ambitious dream, the Brooklyn Bridge turned into a stunning feat of engineering, realized through bold experimentation and innovation. Since its completion, it has been a source of creativity and inspiration, soon becoming a beloved symbol of New York City worldwide. The Met collection uniquely highlights how, since the late 19th century, photographers have been drawn to capturing this iconic New York landmark with their cameras. Seeing the bridge through a photographer's lens offers boundless inspiration and reveals infinite connections, inviting us to view it from a fresh, engaging perspective and to renew our personal encounter with it.
Presented in conjunction with the special installation The Brooklyn Bridge Up Close, on view through February 22, 2026.
