Moscow Subways

On our last day in Moscow, Tracy, JaeRan and Traci had the wonderful opportunity to tour (yes, we literally toured) the Moscow subway system.  Each station has a unique appearance and varied artistic presentation. The subway has been dubbed "The people's palaces".  Some of the stations used stained glass, others (Revolution Square) adorned with bronzed statutes honoring the variety of men who fought to protect Russia. Other stations are adorned with granite, mosaic and amazing architecture.  We've included some photos that we took (below). You can also learned more about the subway system at the links below:
