This bus was first a school bus, and then it was converted into a mobile art gallery by the parents of Sarah Malawista, a teenage artist from Maryland who had come up with an idea to create an "art bus" for inner-city schools before she died in 2006. The Malawistas recently donated the bus to the forthcoming Bronx Children's Museum in New York. The permanent museum is slated to open in a historic, city-owned castle in a park in 2013. In the meantime, the repurposed bus is bringing art and other subjects to kids throughout the Bronx, with exhibits and hands-on programs on board.
