Moscow Metro Art Exploration
Does 'adventure' have to mean expensive? Definitely not! Experience the unique pleasure and delight of the Metro Art Exploration, which will give you an insight into the history and magnificent architectural wonder of the Moscow Metro.
- Start at Komsomolskaya station on the brown line. Get a detailed map of the metro system and make sure to stop at every station that intrigues you. Each station is a miniature museum featuring mosaics, statues, and frescoes paying homage to multiple themes.
- Get off at Mayakovskaya station and admire the ceiling decorated with mosaics showing '24 Hours in the Land of the Soviets.' At Kiyevskaya station, marvel at the painted panels that show various scenes from Ukrainian and Russian history. End your tour at Ploshchad Revolyutsii station, which is filled with bronze statues.
- While this date is about exploring and adventure, it's also about spending quality time together. Talk about the art you see and the feelings that are evoked by it. Enjoy each other's company as you take in the beauty and history of the city.
Preparation steps:
- Before your underground journey, do some research on the stories and history of Moscow's metro stations. Decide which stations you want to explore more and highlight them on your metro map.
- Prepare yourselves for a full day. Wear comfortable shoes and clothes. Bring a refillable bottle of water and a small snack because food and drink can be expensive in the metro stations.
- Remember to charge your camera or phone before the trip. From the ornate mosaic ceilings to the grand marble columns and bronze statues, there's plenty to photograph.
