Gabe's famous Tweet reached seven million views in 2020, and set off a spirited debate amongst New Yorkers. Celebrities and local politicos weighed in. The Tweet became a meme and a template for similar conversations worldwide. "Ode to the Orange Seats," opens June 17 at the #NYTransitMuseum.
The exhibit is a loving tribute to an increasingly rare sight in New York’s subways: the orange and yellow bucket seats first introduced on R44 cars in 1971. Find out how an everyday commute inspired artists across mediums, including miniature modeling, tattoo, watercolor, flashe, and oil painting.
