New York: Subway Art Gallery

New York’s Museum of Modern Art running art project Atlantic Pacific is a nice gift to the city’s subway travellers.

For more than a month, MoMA takes over Brooklyn’s Atlantic Avenue/Pacific Street subway station, filling it with replicas of over 50 artworks in the MoMA collection. A true pop-up gallery!

You will find works by Pablo Picasso, Vincent van Gogh, Charles Eames, Cindy Sherman, Andy Warhol and more. The purpose of the project is to create a greater awareness of the MoMA collection at its midtown location.

If you would like to get more information on a specific artwork, you can call a special phone number or download podcasts.
