The "Sketches of Forgotten Moscow" exhibition tour invites you to immerse yourself in the city of the late 19th and early 20th centuries and see it as Vladimir Gilyarovsky's contemporaries knew it. The route takes you through iconic landmarks of old Moscow—from Arbat to Triumfalnaya Square—and reveals the city's everyday life through street scenes, everyday details, and legends.
Participants will learn what the Sukharev Tower looked like before its demolition, what happened at the Sunday markets at its foot, what carriages met passengers at Brestsky Station, and why Muscovites joked about "horsecar, catch the chicken."
Duration: 1 hour 15 minutes.
