Pizza Rat Debunked

Thursday February 26

Other dates...

6:00 PM  –  7:30 PM

Think New York City rats rule the rails? Think again. Despite the memes, city rodents are far more at home in spaces outside subway stations, thanks to decades of targeted trash-management strategies by the MTA and the Department of Health.  Join Caroline Bragdon, NYC Department of Health’s Director of Neighborhood Interventions, and urban rodentologist and former MTA consultant Robert Corrigan for an educational session on what drives the real science of rodent behavior and how the city and you can help keep the rats in check.

Program Experience
The Museum is located in a decommissioned subway station.

  • When you arrive, look for a subway station entrance on the Northwest corner of Boerum Place and Schermerhorn Street—that’s us!  The stairway will lead you down to the Museum.
  • There is Wi-Fi, but no cell phone service in the Museum. If you plan to visit with others, we recommend coordinating in advance and entering together.  
  • The Museum does not have a bag or coat check. Please do not bring large bags to the Museum to allow more space for visitors in exhibits.
  • While the main program space and a few of our exhibits on the mezzanine have air conditioning and heat, a majority of the Museum (including the entire platform level with our historic trains), does not have climate control.
  • Eating is not allowed anywhere in the Museum.
