The New York Transit Museum occupies a decommissioned 1936 subway station in Brooklyn. Founded in 1976, the museum explores how public transportation shaped the city through engineering, design, workers, and everyday journeys. Its historic station setting and rotating collection of vintage subway and elevated cars bring the infrastructure of daily life into focus.
