Today I used This MVM that costs $25 Adults General Admission (I have a membership) just to access:
These are some screen shots that an MVM doesn’t usually make:
It is located in the MoMA exhibition Talk to Me: Design and the Communication between People and Objects and gives out these special MetroCards and receipts:
The description of an MVM an museum terms (from The object’s individual web page):
‘Masamichi Udagawa (Japanese, born 1964) and Sigi Moeslinger (Austrian, born 1968) of Antenna Design (USA, est. 1997) David Reinfurt (American, born 1971), Kathleen Holman (American, born 1962), and MTA New York City Transit (USA, est. 1953) 1999’
Also watch the video of an MVM on that webpage it shows what must have been a protoype graphics package when the fare was only $1.50, you can’t buy a $3 MetroCard today:
Transit appears in other areas of MoMA as well:
- Such as the famous Metropolitan Paris Metro entrance in the sculpture garden:
- And a Solari ‘Flip’ Sign that displays nonsense European Flights but does ‘flip’ and that noise can be heard in far away stretches of the museum:
- These signs are also in MoMAs permanent collection (not currently on exhibit) that I took back in April 2005 when the Museum reopened and forgot about (they have been added to their respective station pages):
