Subway: D, N, Q, R & W to the 36th street station
The New York Transit Museum is one of a few museums in the world dedicated to telling the story of urban public transportation - from the people who developed, operate, and ride it, to the city and region it has helped shape. The Museum focuses on this human experience and the impact of public transportation on the growth and development of the New York metropolitan region. Recently the Museum opened the Gabrielle Shubert Research Center, a new 14,000 sq. foot collection and archive storage space in Sunset Park, Brooklyn.
