New York - MTA New York Transit Museum

Brooklyn Heights, NY - On July 4, 1976, the New York City Transit Exhibit opened to the public in a decommissioned subway station built in 1936. The exhibit, installed throughout the old Court Street subway station in Brooklyn Heights, was a celebration of America's Bicentennial as well as the role that public transportation played in the nation's development. This temporary exhibition proved so popular that it was never dismantled. Instead, it formed the sturdy foundation on which the New York Transit Museum was established.

Explore vintage subway cars, turnstiles, and other artifacts that tell the story of our public transportation systems, past and present.
