From an AP story:

The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority is offering free docent-guided tours of the artwork in the city's Metro Rail system. The unusual tours will teach you about the city's history, its public transportation system and the diverse artwork decorating public spaces in 62 stations.

The tours are offered the first Saturday and Sunday of each month, and each roundtrip two-hour tour visits different stations. No reservations are required. For the first Saturday tours, meet promptly at 10 a.m. at the street level entrance to the Hollywood/Highland Station on Hollywood Boulevard. For the first Sunday tours, meet promptly at 10 a.m. at the information booth inside the entrance to Union Station at 900 Alameda St. in downtown Los Angeles.
