DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN — THE NEW YORK TRANSIT MUSEUM celebrates its 50th anniversary with a special new exhibition, “The New York Transit Museum: 50 Years of Stories.”
The exhibition in the museum’s decommissioned subway station in Downtown Brooklyn tells the expansive history of New York’s transit systems through its archive of photos, objects, documented projects and more. “50 Years of Stories” will explore the past, present and future of New York’s transit through unusual experiments, creative figures behind transit progress, and future plans to keep the city moving.
A curator talk on the exhibition will take place on July 16 at 6 p.m. Curator Jodi Shapiro and Content and Research Manager Polly Desjarlais will share behind-the-scenes information on the exhibition and discuss the exhibition at the ticketed event.
The exhibition is open at 99 Schermerhorn St. during museum hours. The museum has been celebrating its anniversary throughout the year with themed rides, programs, and more.
