From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There are 52 'themes' on this list. 10 are Valentine-themed, and can be shared by all art museums. And we have 42 divided among four major galleries at the Brooklyn Museum.

Each 'theme' is a possible attribute, origin or subject matter of an artwork.

The 'themes' have been selected based mostly on the online catalog, looking for ones where we had several artworks on display.
