Best Art You Can See for the Cost of a MetroCard Swipe

Submitted by Jordana Drell Herman on

Nick Cave's “Each One, Every One, Equal All,” is a stunning subway art installation in one of the city's busiest stations.

I love the subway. It’s one of the best parts of living in New York. You won’t convince me otherwise. For the cost of a MetroCard swipe, I can give my children a world of experiences—including viewing a collection of impressive NYC subway art!

When my children were little, they loved looking out the train windows. As they got older, reading the ads delighted them. Now, we revel in the stations themselves for their wealth of free subway art, culture, and conversation. So, next time you swipe your MetroCard, take note: We've rounded up the best NYC subway art to see with kids below. Of course, if you're searching for a more traditional art gallery experience, we've got tons of kid-friendly picks in our NYC Kids Guide to Museums, Galleries, and Exhibits.
