Public Museum of the Moscow Metro, Moskva, Russia
The underground museum opened in November 1967 with the efforts of enthusiasts – veterans of underground labor, who collected the future exhibits: documents, photos, samples of various equipment. When creating the funds, materials from the Metro Department, the State Archive of Cinema and Photographic Documents, the Russian State Library were used, as well as various equipment that was decommissioned.
Many documents and individual items were donated to the museum by private individuals.
The exposition is built in such a way as to fully reveal the history of the creation of the subway and its development to the present day. Unique exhibits demonstrate the labor feat of those who created this engineering and architectural miracle and ensured its functioning.
The exhibition also presents other thematic sections: “The Metropolitan in the Years of the Great Patriotic War: Transport and the Air-raid”, “The Metropolitan as an Architectural Monument”, “Commonwealth of Subways of Russia, CIS Countries and Other Countries of the World”
