Train station makeover

The Moynihan Train Hall at New York’s Penn Station opened this month following a US$1.6 billion (S$2.1 billion) renovation and expansion project. It features permanent art installations, including The Hive (above), a set of up to 2.7m-tall models of skyscrapers hanging upside-down like stalactites from the ceiling. The artwork is created by Berlin-based Scandinavian artist duo Elmgreen & Dragset. PHOTOS: NYTIMES
