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.

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