Sea Train — Gallery Talk Exhibit Logo for Sea Train: Subway Reef Photos

    • Sea Train — Gallery Talk

    -

    Photographer Stephen Mallon’s images, many seen here in Sea Train for the first time, capture our collective imagination, and serve up the seemingly impossible: iconic subway cars, repurposed to become an artificial reef on the ocean floor. Join Senior Curator Amy Hausmann and Photographer Stephen Mallon at our Grand Central Terminal location for a gallery talk of Sea Train, where they will explore the fascinating story behind how these symbols of industry and busy city life, which carried millions of passengers along New York City’s iron rails for decades, were dropped like toys into the vastness of the Atlantic seascape to begin the next chapter of their useful life- as a flourishing new habitat for marine life.
