Please check out the First Saturday schedule for the evening of December 4 (below), and we'll probably also spend some time in the museum cafe.
A particular highlight for the wiki crowd will be [http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/exhibitions/seductive_subversion/ Seductive Subversion: Women Pop Artists, 1958–1968], and the accompanying [http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/exhibitions/seductive_subversion/wiki/ WikiPop] project.
It might also be fun for individual Wikipedians to sign up to lead the group on a few tours of the galleries (Egyptian Art, Feminist Art, etc) they feel sufficiently know-it-alls about :P
