Celebrate 50 years of the New York Transit Museum and discover how a bold idea became one of the city’s most beloved cultural institutions. From its roots at the 1965 World’s Fair in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park to its opening inside a decommissioned subway station in Downtown Brooklyn, the Transit Museum has spent five decades bringing New York’s transportation history to life for generations of visitors.

Join Polly Desjarlais for a look back on the Museum’s 50 years of collecting, preserving, and sharing the stories that have kept the city moving.

After you book your ticket, you will receive three emails. One will be a receipt, another ticket(s), and the third will include a Zoom link with instructions on how to participate. We encourage you to download the Zoom app in advance for the best user experience.
