| One thing I love about New York is how it likes to give you a taste of art in unexpected places. Venture down into the subway system and be delighted by artist Ann Schaumburger's mosaics, entitled Urban Oasis, from 1997, inspired by the nearby Central Park Zoo. If you get the chance to travel around to different stations, you'll see more mosaics, as well as sculptures and poetry inside the trains themselves. |
