The Brooklyn Museum opens The Art of Manga on October 3, 2026, billing it as the first large-scale exhibition in the Americas to examine manga as a fine-art form. More than 600 drawings will trace the medium's visual history and its influence on global contemporary culture. The show runs through January 31, 2027. The announcement positions the museum as a home for popular-visual-culture blockbusters alongside its encyclopedic holdings. It is expected to draw a broad audience well beyond typical museumgoers.
