Metro Arts and Architecture

Examples of good station design:

	Tashkent Tashkent's metro, built in 1977, allegedly as one of the most beautiful in the former Soviet Union, consists of three lines. Leading architects and artists from Uzbekistan took part in creating unique stations, some of them decorated in Islamic designs. Photo [ilkhom.ferghana.ru]: Ceiling of Navoiy station from 1984.
	Enduring materials have been used for Tashkent's station interiors, like engraved metal, glass, granite, marble, or carved alabaster. Each station's design is distinct and devoted to a certain theme. Photo [crafts.freenet.uz]: Mustaqilik Maidoni station from 1977.
