Home to transit lore and memorabilia, the New York Transit Museum is housed in an authentic 1930s Subway Station. Their collection includes historic subway cars, various styles of the turnstile, a working signal tower, and an exposed bus interior that doubles as a small theater. The museum also features interactive activities for children, such as a pretend dynamite detonator for excavating subway tunnels and a hands-on fuel station.
The New York Transit Museum Gallery Annex in Grand Central Terminal presents changing exhibitions and great opportunities for souvenir shopping.
