Exhibition Hours: Mon, Fri & Sat: 11 to 6; Tues, Wed & Thurs: 10 to 8 The Future Beneath Us: 8 Great Projects Under New York This joint exhibition, a project of the New York City Transit Museum and the Science, Industry and Business Library (SIBL), focuses on eight megaprojects planned by the New York City Department of Environmental Protection, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. In a unique effort, exhibitions at two venues—SIBL’s Healy Hall and the Grand Central Gallery of the Transit Museum—combine to provide a single view of future directions. The Library spotlights City Water Tunnel No. 3, the Trans-Hudson Express Tunnel, the Water Filtration project, and the World Trade Center Transportation Hub. The Transit Museum features the East Side Access project, the Second Avenue Subway project, the Fulton Street Transit Center, and the #7 Line West Side Subway Extension. Images and sounds drawn from the resources of the Transit Museum, the Library, and the concerned agencies reveal the unseen and ongoing efforts. Projections from the agencies, reports on the current status of the projects, and design information serve to suggest the impact these projects will have on the future of New York City and its people in terms of quality of service, improved security, and overall economic and social well being. |
