An exhibition of archival photographs opened in the passage between the Savelovskaya stations of the Big Circle and Serpukhovsko-Timiryazevskaya lines.

"As part of the 90th anniversary of the Moscow metro, together with the Russian news agency TASS, we opened a new exhibition of archival photographs. We invite passengers to immerse themselves in the past and learn more about the history of the capital's main transport. We continue to develop the capital's metro as a cultural space on behalf of Sergei Sobyanin," said Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry

Maxim Liksutov.

The exhibits include a unique photo of the first test train before a test run from Komsomolskaya to Sokolniki, taken in 1934. Visitors will see a photo of Crown Princess Beatrix of the Netherlands and her husband Claus von Amsberg at the Kitay-Gorod metro station in 1973.

In addition, at the exhibition you can see what Moscow metro stations looked like in different years, and see photographs of metro builders, employees, and passengers.

The exhibition will run until August 15 inclusive.

The Moscow metro today is not only one of the main modes of transport in the capital, but also a cultural space. Exhibitions dedicated to holidays, significant dates and historical events have become a tradition for the stations.
