The Next Stop Is... Brooklyn Museum, Eastern Parkway...
Brooklyn, NY - Peter - Wednesday, June 15th, 2005 : goo
[previous] :: [next]
This is the Manhattan-bound platform of the Brooklyn Museum/Eastern Parkway 2/3 subway line. Eastern Parkway lies atop the station, and it exits right in front of the Brooklyn Museum. The Brooklyn Botanic Garden is also at this stop...
Many subway stations have lovely old mosaics proclaiming the stop... most of these were done in the old days, 1900-1930s, before the MTA became such a profit-hungry, cost-cutting bureaucracy...
This sign indicates what lies above. The mosaic is also visible, underneath...
Some random station information, added here simply for tose that like seeing random signs...
The sign designating what stops lie on this line, and what times of day/at which station the trains actually stop (the 2/3 runs express through some parts of town)...
Ahh, finally... heres the 2 train! Gotta go to work...

glad you posted these, Peter. But I am surprised you did not include the old architectural elements they've added to the first level, where the token booth is.
Eastern Parkway was the first-ever Parkway in the US, I do believe.
See ya on the 2!

At 3 AM in March 1999 after a party around the corner my girlfriend at the time barfed in this station when we were waiting for a train. I always liked this station. It was the last normal one before things got scary. Back in 1998/1999 this area was not like it is today.

Flashback to 1972 and riding the subway to Bishop McDonnell High School on Eastern Parkway.
Thanks for the memories!

Thank you for these photos. They evoke memories of when I lived there and this was my subway stop. I love Brooklyn, NY; Eastern Parkway, and the Brooklyn Museum of Art.
