The Moscow Metro ๐
There are lots of unusual things in the Moscow metro, but it is not always possible to notice all the details due to the constant rush and city rhythm.
๐ You can see the historical motifs of the ancient world at the Kropotkinskaya metro station. The lobby features columns inspired by the art of ancient Egypt, with lotus-like piers with hidden lamps. Due to that it seems the ceiling becomes weightless and soars above the passengers.
๐ The most unusual place that can be imagined in the metro is hidden on Arbatskaya station โ there is a buffet on the platform. The place is called ยซBuffet No. 11ยป. Since 1968 a tiny cafe has been providing hot meals to subway drivers and passengers. It was renovated in 2016 and decorated in a retro style, while keeping homemade dinners of the menu. Unfortunately the buffet is closed at the moment, but you can still see a sign that is unusual for Moscow metro.
๐ The Vorobyovy Gory metro station is located above the Moskva River. There are glass showcases in its lobby, where exhibits have been hosted since 2010. The passengers could see sculptures from the Darwin Museum, costumes from the Moscow State Circus, as well as models of space rockets from Roscosmos. Furthermore, there is an exhibition dedicated to the Moscow Metro at the moment, it presents uniform samples of Moscow metro workers of different years.

โ๏ธ This is not the scenery for a movie about the future!
๐ท๐บThis is what the new Pykhtino metro station looks like in Moscow!
๐In September, two new metro stations - "Pykhtino" and "Vnukovo Airport" opened in Moscow.
โ๏ธThe Pykhtino station is a real hi-tech aviation museum alike! Above the escalators there is a model of the TU-144 supersonic passenger aircraft, capable of accelerating up to 2300 km/h.
โ๏ธOn the ceiling of the lobby there are chandeliers in the form of airplane turbines, and on the walls - the whole history of the design bureau of A.N. Tupolev!
