The London Underground metro system is part of the vital organs that make up the city. Millions of people utilize the transit system everyday. Such a staple to the city, it’s no wonder that Art on the Underground, a London curatorial program, is interested in putting art all around. Art is found all throughout the underground stations from paintings to performance art. The diverse forms of art throughout allow for the art to be for anyone. With travellers flooding the stations, the culture that the art brings is enriching to the daily lives.
