Eastern Parkway–Brooklyn Museum is a local station on the IRT Eastern Parkway Line of the New York City Subway. Located in at the intersection of Washington Avenue and Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn adjacent to the Brooklyn Museum, it is served by the 2 train (all times), by the 3 train (all times except late nights), and by the 4 train (during late nights only). The name of the station was originally intended to be "Institute Park."
There are two side platforms. The local tracks are on the upper level, while the express tracks pass underneath on a lower level. A large mosaic displays Eastern Parkway and the Brooklyn Museum. On the platform and mezzanine are abstract art paintings, created in 1991 by artist Pat Steir and collectively called the Brueghel Series. There is an emergency exit from the express level at the south end of each platform. There is a second, unused mezzanine, token booth, and turnstile area at the north end of this station, with a door hidden in the tiles. This entrance has been removed on street level.
