Exhibition History

Exhibition History

Urban America, 1930-1970

December 1, 2006 - February 25, 2007

As city populations increased, metropolitan governments responded by broadening infrastructure in the form of light rails, subways, and buses. These additions drastically changed the look of the cityscape while creating new locales where working Americans of all genders, races, and classes traveled together. The variety and novelty to be found on public transportation provided material for many artists.
