Weekday Sketchers at Transit Museum
The Transit Museum is a mix of nostalgia and futuristic travel. Housed in a decommissioned subway station the collection takes us back in time to experience the history, art and artifacts of the transit system, while giving us a glimpse into the future for commuter travel.
Unique to museum visits, the Transit Museum is experiential as well as educational. Come, sit in and sketch the subway cars and busses through time. Or, explore the extensive technology displays that demonstrate how the system keeps running. Or, explore the exhibit Ticket to Ride to find out how the subway fares have been collected through the ages, walk through the evolution of turnstiles and learn about the enormous task of collecting the fares and insuring that they get to where they need to go.
