Thanks to Mayor Sasson, and ConEd, alumni and friends in New York are being treated to a tour of the New York Transit Museum at no charge.
The event will take place on Saturday 25 June from 11:00 to 12:15, with an optional lunch afterwards at a local restaurant.
For those who regularly use New York City’s subway system, this is a great insight in to how the subway was created.
The New York Transit Museum, one of the city’s leading cultural institutions, is the largest museum in the United States devoted to urban public transporations history, and one of the premier institutions of its kind in the world. The Museum explores the development of the greater New York metropolitan region through the presentation of exhibitions, tours, eduacational programs, and workshops dealing with the cultural, social and technological history of public transportation. Since its inception nearly forty years ago, the Museum, housed in a historic 1936 IND subway station in Downtown Brooklyn, has grown in scope and popularity. As custodian and interpreter of the region’s extensive public transportation networks, the Museum strives to share, through its public programs, this rich and vibrant history with local, regional, and international audiences.
If you wish to attend, please email the Alumni Office.
Please note, this event is limited to 35 places.
