Art train in Moscow underground

[sunontheway]

Few days ago they run a new art train named 'Akvarel" (water-colour) in Moscow underground. The train has 35 beautiful high quality reproductions of paintings from The Russian Museum.

Lovely idea.

How do you like Underground in Moscow and St. Petersburg? It's a bit different from London underground :becky:

Absolutely every station is unique.

Beautiful underground pict. Stations are monuments. Not like underground in my city, only usefull, less arty, more cold design. Perhaps the difference in climate.

To say a bit more in my city it's a very recent little one, full automatic, no driver...

[pouffe]

then some pict

Yes, Russian metro is very beautiful :( - each station is a museum and a masterpiece... do not kill me yet, but all this beauty breaks up to 1000 useless pieces, when you need to find a toilet... I vote for less beautiful, but more practical stations, equipped with elevators for elder and disabled and with clean and free toilets for all.
Sorry about that - kick me, if you feel like that... Or even better - make me a Mayor of Moscow!

Some more.

If you speak about Paris, I quite like your new line. Is it Madeline?

:lol: It is so scaring when you see no driver. You should put a mannequin not to frighten dummy foreigners :becky:

[Gabbibo]

It's not only very beautiful, it's the most beautiful underground in the world
About Moscow tube all know


From my tube collection i think is very nice in Paris station Louvre

The art train in Moscow subway... and concert of clasical music at Freedom Square Station in Tbilisi,:lol: actually it was 2 years ago, in February 18 "A Day of Classical Music" under the European Days of Opera Project when the European opera theaters organized the concert of the band and stringed quartet of Tbilisi Opera and Ballet Theatre in the lower vestibule of the Freedom Square Station.
Clasic is good but why in subway...in the lower vestibule of the Station? :lol: I hope the trains were stoped.

[sunontheway]

but why in subway...

Why not?

If the masses do not go to the culture, the culture goes to the masses :becky:

[ChelIn-2008]

The stations in Tbilisi Metro are not so beautiful as in Moscow or St.Petter but I think much better than in Rome, Athens or Amsterdam.

Some more pics.
Abra, on last one, Mayor of Tbilisi so proud of renovated station. I don't know if they asked about toilets, i guess no, everything is perfect.

[Hoopy]

This is Glasgow underground, doesn't matter what station, they are all the same as these pics prove, total rubbish. :lol: :yield:

Yestarday I found a beautiful station in Uzbekistan. First I mixed it with a palace, thought it was Taj Mahal inside :becky:

The mayor is a handsome man! This is what we all need from men in power - be handsome, and do not touch anything with your hands!
If I were a mayor of Moscow, I would also bring a lot of women to rule the city. Women are much-much less corrupted and very few steal money...:cool:

I think it's dangerous to have so little space between trains.

We have protecting doors on the most crowded stations. Doors open only when a train arrives and stops

We have a "man in a skirt" as a governor here :) She is ok.

[Sniffer]

A lot of griaz and water on the road, but i must admit that when you enter in the Moscow metro, wooow, it's Palace, Lights and Princess everywhere!!! :inlove::becky:

[Hoopy]

The most busy stations here have different platforms but Glasgow only has one subway line :lol:

Вот ссылочка про метро во всем мире. Интересно почитать, но только на русском :)

Yeah... what I like about our metro, it's very very clean. No urine smell :)
What I don't like about our metro - I would make less decoration but more stations. And so horrible noise, they should use modern technologies to reduce noise :mad:

Today was subway festival 2009 with live performances on trains and shows at the stations.

And I liked the photos so much.. that think I should spend a day in Moscow metro to see all stations and to find that art train :-) To be honest I agree on absence of toilets to see all this :)
Pity it's so difficult to find them. I wonder if they exist there at all? Here in Tbilisi metro I doubt they exist.. I think maybe on entrance only as down there on stations I didn't see a possible place for them. During all my life never had to seek them... But here metro is not the same large as in Moscow, person spends half an hour there the most - to go from one end of line to another.

We have our stations re-newed recently, they are clean and nice now.

[Hoopy]

Alenika you old person, remember I'm 5 years younger than you :becky: I loved the Mocsow metro but peepee is always a problem, they are beautiful but have failed to realise not everyone carries a bag like krevedko's so nowhere to relieve themselves :lol:

[alenika]

I heard saying that the sound is better in underground :-) Never listened to music there though.

What about krevedko's bag - they are free to relieve themselves in any green area or near any tree ;) Until they are 3 at least ;)

I think Southamerica. Parque means Park in english. But definitely not Spain. Specially Barcelona with our modern and cold stations style.

That is the best in Barcelona. All old stations are renewed to have elevators and ramps for disabled people or just woman with a baby trolley (Barcelona is one of the most disabled ready cities of the world). Some old stations are even modified to be more spacious and comfortables. New trains faster and wider and also can work without driver but still have to dont scare passengers :lol:

But we do not have toilets and impossible to put some art exhibition in the metro. Will be destroyed in just few minutes. :(

[sunontheway]

I think Southamerica.

Lisbon, Portugal :becky:
