The New York Transit Museum, housed in an authentic decommissioned 1930s 60,000 square foot bi-level subway station in Brooklyn Heights, is the custodian of the most extensive collection of urban transportation materials in the United States. It is one of only a few museums in the world dedicated to telling the story of urban mass transit, from the people who developed it and are served by it to the city and region it has helped to shape. The Museum boasts a collection of vintage subway trains, along with a wide array of exhibits, programs, film screenings and workshops.
