Come visit our current exhibit, The People Behind the Project which tells the story of the funding, planning and building of the Second Avenue Subway through the voices of its key players.

In addition to the wall installation, the center also features an interactive exhibit, presented at four stations with iPads and high-definition monitors. The interactive exhibit features 17 videos - a six-minute feature film, six “Digging Deeper” videos that focus on specific topics including leadership and construction, and 10 short films in which individuals share personal stories.
