Fast, crowded, dirty, underground or overhead, but always practical, the subway is an essential means of transportation. Initial designs produced steam locomotives, but were modernized to create electric trains - sometimes even driverless! Around 1896, subways were developed in Europe and were well received by the public since they could carry about 700 people at a time and cover a long distance in a short time. Artists quickly appropriated the metro, which gradually became an underground art gallery. Many world-famous artists made their debut in the subways and an underground culture was created. Street-art, artworks and many other creations are made underground. Artsper lets you discover artists like Darryl McCray ( Cornbread ), Fat and Keny who were inspired by the subway.
