Fantastic museum for only $10. The first section could definitely use air conditioning in the summer but the entire exhibit gives a good history and recount of hardships and events that the New York Transit system has been through (power outages, hurricanes, 911, etc.). There's lots of information about the timeline of everything as well as the use of different technologies and designs that have been used. The tour guide (which I happen to come across) seemed to be extremely knowledgeable about the history of the different generations of the subways. The subway exhibit is in a live station and you get to go in a whole bunch of the different subway cars going back to the 20th century. Muchly recommended.
