Simultaneously, major institutions are launching landmark shows, including a massive Raphael retrospective at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the 2026 Whitney Biennial, which focuses on artificial intelligence and climate grief.

NYC Transit Museum Turns MetroCards Into Art

The New York Transit Museum's Grand Central Gallery is presenting "Inspired by MetroCard," a free exhibition running through October 2026 that transforms the city's iconic fare card into works of art. The show features paintings, collages, mosaics, and wearable pieces created from thousands of MetroCards by artists including VH McKenzie, Nina Boesch, Juan Carlos Pinto, Barbara Kruger, Nina Vishneva, and Thomas McKean. Curator Jodi Shapiro organized the exhibition, which is located in the museum's gallery and store within Grand Central Terminal's Shuttle Passage.
