<NYに世界最大のバンクシーミュージアムOPEN>
The mysterious street artist Banksy
Banksy Museum exhibits the world's largest collection of 160 pieces
Opening on May 15, 2024 in the Soho area of Manhattan, New York!
Speaking of Banksy,
Although based in the UK,
A mysterious artist who appears out of nowhere one day, suddenly leaving behind his works all over the world.
Expressing serious realities such as war and peace, social and political messages through humor and satire.
The message and the location of the painting,
There are pros and cons,
The work is
They have disappeared in conflict zones, or they have been erased without permission because they were drawn without permission, or they have been quickly removed without a trace for the purpose of resale...
All the works that were erased or removed
Several selected talented artists have created life-size replicas
It is being exhibited in New York, with a street atmosphere intact.
I think most of Banksy's works are viewed on small screens such as smartphone photos,
It's amazing that you can see everything here in life-size.
If you come to NY, this is a must see!

<Finally! The end of the MetroCard>
The symbol of New York, the yellow subway ticket
MetroCard sales will end at the end of this year
Scheduled to end in 2023 but delayed due to COVID-19
The MetroCard shows no signs of disappearing despite warnings that it will soon be gone.
It's a big vending machine
You can only purchase one at a time (you can't choose the number)
Although it is a large vending machine, it is often unavailable. Currently, only cash is accepted. Currently, no change is given. Currently, cash is not accepted.
The card I just bought can't be used because of a magnetic problem.
Even if there is a problem, the staff at the booths can't do anything and just hand you an envelope and have to file a complaint with the operating company (= travelers have no choice but to accept it).
There were various problems
32 years since its introduction in 1993
It will play a vital role as a symbol of New York.
This yellow design is used for various anniversaries and campaigns.
Tiffany Blue, rapper Biggie, musicals,
etc.
It was a limited edition and I was looking forward to it.
Going forward, the system will be unified into the contactless Tap & Go style "OMNY" that was introduced in 2019.
We live in a convenient age where you can use your credit card or smartphone without prior registration (plastic OMNY cards can also be purchased from vending machines).
For about 50 years since 1953
The token (coin) that was the face of the NY subway
1993: Yellow MetroCard takes over
After 32 years, its role came to an end.
The first token costs 15 cents, currently 2.90 USD per ride
It feels about 20 times older.
A valid metro card
Available until the end of 2026
