New York Transit Museum

The museum occupies a former subway station with two original platform levels containing vintage train cars and transportation artifacts from different periods.

The Court Street station transformed from an operating IND Fulton Street Line terminus in 1936 into the New York Transit Museum during the 1976 US Bicentennial.

The exhibitions present the evolution of New York City's public transportation through authentic vehicles, engineering materials, route maps, and workers' equipment.

The museum welcomes visitors Thursday through Sunday from 10:00 to 16:00, with entrance fees in the moderate price range and partial wheelchair access.

Visitors can step inside twenty different subway cars manufactured between 1907 and 2004, preserved with original advertisements and design elements.
