The Moscow metro is one of the most beautiful in the world. Many elements of the architectural and artistic design of its stations are genuine works of art. A few days ago, passengers of the Moscow metro had a chance to learn more about its history.
Many museums can envy the beauties of the Moscow metro. However, the millions of passengers transported every year by the metropolitan subway usually do not know too much about how this technically and artistically amazing structure was created. At the end of August 2012, the administration of the Moscow Metro and the Department of Cultural Heritage of Moscow decided to rectify the situation by organizing free excursions to the most beautiful stations. Anyone can take part in them, you will have to pay only for the entrance to the metro.
The excursion is called "Familiar unfamiliar metro" and takes place as part of the "Out into the city" program. Tourists will be shown 20 stations, including such famous ones as Park Kultury, Novokuznetskaya, Krasnopresnenskaya, Mayakovskaya, Kievskaya, Novoslobodskaya and others. A professional guide will tell you about the history of the stations, about how and by whom the artistic and architectural masterpieces decorating them were created.
