Public Art Fund developed a program of ambitious art installations for three prominent sites within the Train Hall. In keeping with the redesigned building’s architectural integration of old and new, artists created large-scale, site-specific artworks that reflect broadly on notions of past, present, and future.

Access to Artwork: Most artwork is accessible anytime the Train Hall is open. Stan Douglas’ installation is in the Ticketed Waiting Room—only ticket-holders are permitted entry.
