Moscow Metro Photos - Moscow Subway - Moscow Underground - Moskau U-Bahn - Metro de Moscou. Begun in the 1930's, the Stalin-era underground was the USSR's largest civilian construction project, with stations built as "people's palaces. " Employing outstanding architects and artists, it still looks amazing after all those years. The early stations form an eclectic blend of Baroque, Classicism, Soviet Realism, quasi-religious iconography with idealizations of historical characters and their victories, sports, industry, agriculture, very much warfare past and present, the brighter future just ahead, and the heroically laboring working class with inclusion of the various Soviet ethnicities. Oh, and... the Revolution! The art includes bas-reliefs, friezes, marble and bronze statues, stained-glass windows and countless mosaics made with glass, marble and granite in good Byzantine fashion.
At present, the Moscow Metro has 10 radial lines, and one circular line connecting all the other lines. A printed book is available for $25 plus postage: Discover Projects » Art.
