Elegant! So very elegant! A grand appreciation of Moscow Metro's art

Let's not even mention that these metro (bomb shelter) stations often go down to 80m below the surface, the Russians have a unique perspective on art. They combine techniques like frescoes, mosaic tiling, and sculpture with the unique temperament of the former Soviet Union, resulting in an art presentation that is completely harmonious... Before coming to Moscow, I had mainly seen this artistic approach in palaces, churches, and art galleries, but Russia is the first to apply it to ordinary metro stations. Elegant! So very elegant!
