🧠 Lecture: "The Art of the New York City Subway System"

🎤 Speaker: Kristin McCollum

Every day, 3.5 million people travel through one of the world’s greatest art museums without ever realizing it. The New York City Subway System is alive with mosaics and murals, striking architectural designs, and rich historical and geographical representations of the city above.

In this engaging lecture, museum educator and guide Kristin McCollum will reveal the stories behind the artworks that line station walls and platforms, and what they tell us about the people and neighborhoods of New York City. From overlooked details to bold public commissions, you’ll discover how the subway became a vibrant canvas reflecting the city’s past, present, and future.

Kristin McCollum is an actor, improviser, museum educator and guide who works with the New York Transit Museum, The Morgan Library & Museum, and the Museum of the City of New York. She also teaches improvisation at Improvolution in the West Village and is deeply obsessed with her dog Rory, who she swears is made of trash.
