It's not a secret that the subway system has some great art, an entire book was put out about it in 2006. But since residents often stick to their regular lines, it's likely that not many have seen it all. Last week Boing Boing pointed to some subterranean tile art featuring polar bears and penguins, oh my!
For those who want to see all of the subway sights without putting down too much cash on a Metrocard (or for those who simply need a guiding light to point them in the right direction), there's a handy little online source aptly titled Subway Art Guide that can show you the way. They have 212 pieces documented, with artist/title/station listed, as well as a little history and photos of each piece. What do you see at your stop?
