Off-site Program

$40 General / $35 Members

 

Explore the rich history of New York City, past and present, one neighborhood at a time. Through the lens of transportation, discover new places, share stories, and connect with communities. In its almost century-long history, the Second Avenue subway offers many narratives of New York City’s transit history, as well as an underground gallery of some of the MTA Arts & Design’s newest public artwork.

 

Join us on this walking tour along the East Side of Manhattan to explore the avenue and its transit and artistic past. See an original trolley kiosk on the Queensboro Bridge, explore archival images of subway construction, and discover site-specific artworks by contemporary artists Jean Shin, Vik Muniz, and Sarah Sze. In addition to the cost of the tour, one MetroCard swipe or OMNY tap is required.     

 

Members enjoy early access! Tickets go on sale to Museum members on Thursday, August 3rd at 10am ET. Remaining tickets go on sale to the public at 10am ET on Friday, August 4th.
