Moscow



The photos below cover a small subset of Moscow's stations. They don't show only the spectacular stations but try to give an overview of the variety of different designs. If the photos on this page do not quite match Metro Bits' quality standards, this is because they date from 1995. I didn't have a digital camera back then and sometimes made the big mistake of using a flash in the underground. Hopefully, the great station architecture can speak for itself nevertheless. I hope to get the opportunity to make some better photos in the future.

Between Teatralnaya station (line 2) and Okhotnyi Ryad station (line 1), opened in 1944, and probably being the first underground transfer route between separate lines in Moscow.
