ON VIEW: Journeys Continued: LA Communities Through the Eyes of Artists
ON VIEW THROUGH THE END OF 2024: Journeys Continued… LA Communities Through the Eyes of Artists builds on an exhibition presented in 2017 and focuses on neighborhoods and cities within Los Angeles County “through the eyes of artists.” Local artists capture the look and feel of each community from a personal perspective, highlighting special, surprising and/or lesser-known facets of that place. Neighborhood parks, street food vendors, family bicycle rides and local landmarks along daily commutes are among the subjects for these distinctive works of art.
CLOSING SOON: The Yellow Car and Los Angeles
The Yellow Car and Los Angeles, an original exhibition organized by Metro Art and featuring materials sourced from Metro’s Dorothy Peyton Gray Transportation Library and Archive, highlights the Yellow Cars of Los Angeles Railway Corporation (or LARy, for short) and LA’s early buses to offer a fond look back at Los Angeles transit history. Together, these early rail and bus lines are the foundations which shaped the transit system Metro is restoring today.
Waiting Room Gallery
The Waiting Room Gallery presents exhibitions that engage a broad range of transit patrons and visitors to Union Station. The program creates a memorable, dynamic environment for our customers and encourages the use of public transit.

CLOSING SOON
On view at Union Station through September 21, 2023
The Yellow Car and Los Angeles, Metro Art’s exhibition in the Union Station Waiting Room Gallery, offers a fond look back at two foundations of public transit in the region: the “Yellow Cars” of Los Angeles Railway Corporation and the transition to LA’s first years of bus service. Together, these early rail and bus lines shaped the Metro system we have today.
