On Sunday afternoon I took a trip to the MTA Transit Museum in Brooklyn. It is located in a former subway station (Court Street). Surprisingly (at least to me), the station is not connected directly to any other subway station. I took the subway to Hoyt-Schermerhorn Street, then walked two blocks to get to the museum.
The museum has two floors. The top floor (the station concourse) contains exhibits on early subway construction, turnstiles, fare media, the Triborough Bridge, buses and streetcars. The lower floor (the platform) is where historical trains are stored and displayed.
From a Torontonian's perspective it seems interesting that some transit related objects on display in the museum are still in active service here in the TTC, such as tokens and the GM Fishbowl bus.
