Spotify and the Brooklyn Museum came together to create an installation as a tribute to the late musician and fashion David Bowie. New York’s Broadway-Lafayette subway station has been given a makeover and now is covered with huge portraits of Bowie, his quotes, and fan art.

The installation is a part of David Bowie’s current exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum. Over 400 objects of the musician’s personal archive are displayed. This includes show costumes, vinyls, photographs, and handwritten lyric sheets.

This installation also features limited edition MetroCards with images of the iconic artist on them and hundreds of people stay in lines to get one.

The subway installation can be viewed until May 13, 2018, and the David Bowie is exhibit will be on display at the Brooklyn Museum until July 15, 2018.

    Fascinated by music, movies and sitcoms, I'm passionate about social media and can't live without the internet, especially for all the cute dog and cat pictures out there. I wish the day had about 40 hours to be able to do everything I want.

    FYI, the installation is at this particular station because his apartment (and where Iman and their daughter still live) is nearby on Lafayette Street.
