Is it a subway or an art museum

We visited several subway stations in Moscow.  They were first built by Stalin in the 1930s. He wanted them to look like palaces.  It was an unusual use of money, but makes a beautiful place to go for transportation.  You can't live in Moscow without being exposed to good art.  It made me think of Merrill High School where you can't walk the halls without seeing good art.  Below are a few pictures from the subway.  You can see many more beautiful pictures if it on Google. Just google Moscow Subway.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The subway system is a beautiful thing.  Subway stations that were built during times of economic downturns are not so beautiful
