From the moment the first train rumbled beneath the city streets in 1904, the #subway has not only moved millions of people but also shaped the very fabric of the city. In the New York Transit Museum’s brand-new #exhibit, #TheSubwayIs..., we use objects and images from our #collection to explore the profound impact of the subway on #NewYorkCity’s development, culture, and identity.
