Subway Art - 81st Station, Museum of Natural History


Subway Art - 81st Station, Museum of Natural History

For Want of a Nail (2000) was a collaborative effort between MTA Arts for Transit and AMNH  designed to mimic the key disciplines explored in the museum above.  The title refers to an old proverb that speaks to how small actions can have large consequences ? like the loss of a species.
