The cultural case for more art on trains
There’s nothing like blowing off some steam with some good train art
When you think of great works of modern art, you probably think of them as hiding away at sites such as New York Museum of Modern Art (MOMA), London’s Tate Modern and Japan’s Benesse Art Site Naoshima. You probably don’t think of Sydney’s Central Station.
But for some years now, art experts, placemakers and community stakeholders all around the world have been recognizing the value of art in train and subway stations.
