Eastern Parkway-Brooklyn Museum is a local station with two side platforms, located at Eastern Parkway and the Brooklyn Museum; the express tracks are under the local tracks. Its name was planned to be Institute Park. A large mosaic displays Eastern Parkway and 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.
