The New York Transit Museum This museum is located in Brooklyn, New York, and its exhibits are all about the history of New York City public transportation: trolleys, buses, trains, subways. When we travel on the New York City subways, we are often in such a rush we never notice the beautiful art in the stations. Many of the station signs are actually made of small colorful tiles arranged to form designs and patterns – these are called mosaics . For our next project we will make mosaic pictures that we would like to see in a subway station. Here are some mosaic pictures from the New York City subways – they may help you get some ideas.

The New York Transit Museum
This museum is located in Brooklyn, New York, and its exhibits are all about the history of New York City public transportation: trolleys, buses, trains, subways.
When we travel on the New York City subways, we are often in such a rush we never notice the beautiful art in the stations. Many of the station signs are actually made of small colorful tiles arranged to form designs and patterns – these are called mosaics.
For our next project we will make mosaic pictures that we would like to see in a subway station.
Here are some mosaic pictures from the New York City subways – they may help you get some ideas.
