Art in Motion: Riding the Paris Metro

A rich history and moving look at the accessible, immersive art embedded in the Paris subway system. Submarine wall decorations, a ceramic declaration of human rights, a stained-glass red hen, a mosaic mouth, an aedicule made of Murano glass. The Paris Metro, the city's public subway network, has been exhibiting on its walls for over a century, through works imagined by French and foreign artists, punctuating and enhancing the underground travels of Parisians and tourists.
