Moscow also has something a bit like this: Vystovochnaya station, where the mezzanine is used for exhibitions of various kinds. Right now it's all kinds of photos of the construction and history of the Paris Metro, given as a gift by RATP on the occasion of the Moscow Metro's 75th year of operation. It's even kind of educational: I learned that when the Paris Metro gives one of their iconic station entrances as a gift to another city, it's in exchange for some artwork for their own Metro.

A delightful set of experiences for millions of weary commuters.

I am hoping the upcoming Fairfax station on the westside extension of the Purple Line in Los Angeles will include something similar as LACMA is right there.

Toronto's museum station (which serves the Royal Ontario Museuem) has something similar - see http://bit.ly/bCrWv1

@Dan W, I am hoping not. I like my LACMA art without markers, stickers or key etchings.

People should note that Louvre Rivoli is NOT the station of the Louvre museum.
The station that serve the Louvre museum is 300m further or the next station on the line 1 "Palais Royal Musée du Louvre", it is directly connected to the Louvre via "Caroussel du Louvre" underground shopping mall.

Stuff You Need to Know

Walking distance to transit
Why it's hard (but essential) to think about.
Branching: transit is like a river
Branching a line looks easy. Know what's being sacrificed.
Transit's great triangle
(1) Urban form. (2) Transit service. (3) Ridership. Why it's pointless to discuss two of them without the third.
The case for frequency mapping
Some transit is useful for a free and empowered life, but only if we can find it.
Benefits of transit
Transit by itself doesn't reduce congestion, but it does give us alternatives to it. Here are the other great things it does.
Network redesign: Why and how
It's like pruning a tree by committee. Tips on why, how, and process.
Illusions of travel time
The fastest service may not get you there soonest.
Want freedom? Love grids.
For transit that's both efficient and empowering, learn about transit grids (not just street grids).
Want to be a transit planner?
Paths into the profession.
"Be on the Way!"
How land use plans, and your own location choices, determine whether transit can work, for you and your city.
"Transferring" can be good!
Why networks that rely on connections or "transfers" can get you there faster than those that try to avoid them.
