• CCSS.ELA-Literacy.CCRA.SL.1: Prepare for and participate effectively in a range of conversations and collaborations with diverse partners, building on others' ideas and expressing their own clearly and persuasively.

Guided tours may have no fewer than 10 students and no more than 50 students .  Larger groups will be considered on a case-by-case basis. One adult chaperone is required for every 10 students. 

Groups will be divided into smaller pods in order to offer more individual attention to students and maintain safety in the galleries.

Do you have lunchroom facilities? May we eat in the cafeteria? Unfortunately the Museum does not have indoor lunchroom facilities.

We encourage groups visiting The Met Fifth Avenue to picnic in neighboring Central Park before or after your visit (weather permitting). Groups visiting The Met Cloisters are encouraged to picnic in surrounding Fort Tryon Park.

My group includes children with special needs. Should I use the online request form? Yes. The Museum welcomes children of all abilities. When requesting your youth group visit, please let us know what accommodations we can provide in order to meet your needs. You can also reference a social narrative that prepares children on the autism spectrum for a guided visit.

We have a guided visit scheduled, but we have additional chaperones that want to attend. Is this okay? Please notify us as soon as possible at [email protected] so that we can assess the feasibility of your request. We typically permit only three chaperones per assigned guide and may not be able to accommodate the additional adults. If this is the case, the additional adults are more than welcome to do a self-guided visit and meet up with the group afterward.

How do I reschedule or cancel a confirmed group appointment? All requests to change or cancel existing appointments must be made via email to [email protected] . Please include your name, phone number, confirmation number, name of organization, and date and time of your visit. If you need to reschedule or cancel a guided visit, we kindly ask for as much advance notice as possible so that we can assign your guides to another group.

The Met Fifth Avenue's parking garage can accommodate smaller vans. The clearance is six feet, six inches (6' 6"). Designated spaces are available in the parking garage for visitors with disabilities. Alternate arrangements can be made in advance for visitors with disabilities traveling in oversized vehicles. Please call 212-650-2010, between 9 am and 5 pm, Monday through Friday.

If we schedule a guided visit for a specific time, may we arrive earlier and look around on our own? Due to the number of groups scheduled throughout the day, we ask that you arrive at your scheduled time. Your group is more than welcome to explore the rest of the Museum after your scheduled visit.

I have a guided visit scheduled and want to speak with the guides prior to the tour. Is this possible? Yes, our guides will contact you seven to ten days prior to your visit to discuss your tour in more detail. They usually write to the email address you provided when you requested your visit, so be sure to check your email a week or so prior to your visit. 

Can New York City schools book group visits during the summer? Yes, NYC school groups are welcome to visit during the summer. All fees are waived for verified summer school programs and District 75 schools. Summer enrichment programs and summer camps that operate out of NYC schools are subject to  Camp and Community Groups  rates.

A limited number of free mini residencies, which consist of two in-school programs and one Museum tour, are available for New York City Title I and District 75 schools.

Museums and p-12 education.

In This Section

The American Alliance of Museums, representing the entire U.S. museum field, advocates on behalf of museums as critical partners in education and experiential learning.

• Museums spend more than $2 billion a year on education activities. The typical museum devotes three-quarters of its education budget to K-12 students.
• Each year, museums provide more than 18 million instructional hours for educational programs such as guided tours for students, staff visits to schools, school outreach through science vans and other traveling exhibits, and professional development for teachers.
• Museums help teach the state, local or core curriculum, tailoring their programs in math, science, art, literacy, language arts, history, civics and government, economics and financial literacy, geography and social studies to meet state, local and national standards.

Museums and Education Policy

Despite their central role in the system, federal policy often neglects to consider museums’ contributions to the field of education. The Alliance’s Government Relations and Advocacy team   works   to make sure museums are at the table, pushing to retain a wide range of core academic subjects, encouraging greater interagency collaboration, and seeking to give museums more direct access to teacher training funds, among other goals. Our  issue brief  on elementary and secondary education has further details.

Museums and the Future of Education

In response to forecasts that the United States is on the cusp of transformational change in the educational system, the Alliance’s  Center for the Future of Museums  recently launched a national dialogue about the future of education and how museums can be integrated with schools and other educational assets into a vibrant learning grid.

Building the Future of Education: Museums and the Learning Ecosystem  (2014) summarizes the content and shares ideas coming out of a convening organized by the Alliance and The Henry Ford. Essays by educators, students, researchers and reformers explore how leaders from the worlds of education and museums can work together to create immersive, experiential learning opportunities for youth.

The Alliance and its network of partners plan to take the following steps to better integrate museums into the U.S. educational system:

• Compile and disseminate case studies of successful projects that integrate museum assets into the larger educational landscape.
• Share information with policymakers about museums’ work in the field of education.
• Identify and evaluate high-performing digital platforms that can aggregate and distribute museum educational content, and devise ways to encourage museums to make use of them.
• Foster innovative experimentation by individual museums or consortia of museums.
• Research museums’ contribution to education to fill in knowledge gaps.
• Advocate for museums’ rightful place at the table with regards to education policy, both year-round and during  Museums Advocacy Day .
• Organize local convenings of museum staff and education providers to identify ways for communities to integrate museum resources into the local learning ecosystem.

Legislative and Policy Issues

The Alliance’s Government Relations and Advocacy team tracks a wide range of policy issues. See more of our work on education in the “Elementary and Secondary Education” section.

Education Professional Network

The Alliance’s Education Professional Network (EdCom) advances the purpose of museums as places of lifelong learning, serves as an advocate for diverse audiences and educators, and promotes professional standards and excellence in the practice of museum education.

An Alliance of Spirit: Museum & School Partnerships

The classic text on how to build successful partnerships between museums and schools,  An Alliance of Spirit: Museum and School Partnerships  (2010) brings together the latest thinking and instructive case studies on how museums and schools can better understand each other’s goals as they work together to provide school children the most inspiring educational experience possible inside the museum.

School Visits

There is a reason why Shelburne Museum welcomes thousands of school children each year—it is an incredibly rich resource for learning about American history, industry, culture, and art.

Shelburne Museum’s educational programs are all about close looking, critical thinking, and nurturing creativity and art appreciation. As you explore, you will discover how our collections become tools for learning, exploration, and self-expression. Educators who connect with Shelburne Museum will have the opportunity to expand their own understanding of the stories our collections have to tell and the ways that art and material culture can support standards-based classroom learning. We welcome public, private, and homeschool students in grades pre-K to 12 and beyond.

School Visits' Policies and Visiting Information

Chaperone Requirements

JANM relies upon chaperones to closely monitor students during on-site visits. Adult chaperones must accompany all student groups (1st–12th grade) at all times. We require one adult (21 years or older) chaperone for every ten students. Without the appropriate number of chaperones, school groups may not be admitted to the museum. Special exhibitions/programs may require additional chaperones. When visiting the JANM Store, one adult chaperone is to accompany every five students.

It is the responsibility of teachers and adult chaperones to stay with their students and monitor their behavior. Download a Letter to Chaperones (PDF)  for distribution to all chaperones prior to your visit. Groups who are deemed to be disruptive by Museum Security or Visitor Services may be asked to leave the museum.

To qualify for student group rates ($7/student, $9/adult chaperone), school groups must come for a visit scheduled through the Education Unit. Admission rates are subject to change. Cash, checks, and credit cards are accepted. Group payment is due upon arrival. See the “ Bid for Education ” page for information about free admission grants for school groups.

Please contact us at 213.625.0414 or [email protected] as soon as you become aware of a delay. We understand that due to traffic or other unforeseen delays, your group may arrive late. We may not be able to accommodate your group if you arrive more than 20 minutes late.

Personal belongings—including backpacks and large bags—are not allowed in exhibition areas. We encourage students/guests to leave these items at school or on the bus. Temporary storage bins will be provided for scheduled groups to store any food, drink, or backpacks upon arrival.

Do you have docents who are veterans or former inmates that my students can talk to?

Online Resources

Why does JANM use the term “concentration camp” when speaking of the World War II incarceration of Japanese Americans?

The terms used to describe what happened to 120,000 Japanese Americans during World War II—relocation, evacuation, incarceration, internment, or concentration camp—vary among scholars, government officials, and even Japanese Americans themselves. While most people associate “concentration camp” with the Holocaust and many Americans feel more comfortable with milder terms like internment camps, JANM uses the term “concentration camp” because by definition a concentration camp is a place where people are imprisoned not because they are guilty of any crimes, but simply because of who they are. The U.S. government, including President Franklin D. Roosevelt, used the phrase “concentration camp” in speeches and written documents during World War II.

Re-imagining Arts Education

Sonoma Valley Museum of Art (SVMA) is currently engaged in a Re-imagining Art Education initiative to explore new and robust ways of delivering the arts to students, teachers, and families in our community.  For over two decades, SVMA has provided free art education to all 4th- and 5th-grade classrooms in Sonoma Valley through its Art Rewards the Student (A.R.T.S) program.

“The tremendous success and evolution of A.R.T.S. has been gratifying. We are grateful to all the Sonoma Valley teachers, our teaching artists, volunteers, funders, and the community for supporting this dynamic program over the years, which has delivered art education and its associated benefits to thousands of students.”

—Linda Keaton, SVMA Executive Director 

One of the central changes driving SVMA’s re-assessment of its art education programs is Proposition 28, a measure passed by California voters in November 2022 that requires the State to establish and provide funds for a new, ongoing program supporting credentialed arts instructors in schools beginning in 2024. In response to this new opportunity, as well as the challenges of post-pandemic education, SVMA is initiating a year of research, planning, and re-imagining its art education programs to test new programs and assess how to serve best Sonoma Valley Unified School District (SVUSD) and teachers to help deliver the instruction that Prop 28 is making possible for students.

Prop 28 will greatly impact art education in schools throughout California. “SVUSD has enjoyed a long relationship with SVMA. We are fortunate to have such a high-quality museum and art education expertise in this community, and we look forward to a continued relationship as we implement Prop 28.”   

—Jeanette Rodriguez-Chien, SVUSD Superintendent 

Over the last few months, the Museum has formed an SVMA Art Education team and organized meetings and conversations with a coalition of community educators—teachers and representatives from SVUSD, Creative Bridges, Visual Thinking Strategies, and others dedicated to ensuring standards-based art education for students in Sonoma Valley. The consensus is clear—new times call for new approaches in art education.

“Our aim with this initiative is to support SVUSD in fulfilling its changing needs around delivering art instruction in the classroom, while also exploring new and creative ways the Museum site can serve as a significant resource for educators and students alike.” 

—Margie Maynard, SVMA Deputy Director, Engagement & Exhibitions 

In addition to ongoing meetings of the SVMA Art Education team to assist in planning for Prop 28 implementation, the Museum is exploring some pilot programs such as using the Museum to serve as an academic resource and training center for teacher professional development.

SVMA will also continue hosting free School Visits to exhibitions and our hands-on Visual Art Studio for school groups and local youth organizations, as well as extending our Family Make-In opportunities where families create and learn together at the Museum. Additionally, the Museum now has the opportunity to explore after-school programs for teens.

“As a major supporter of SVMA’s art education programs for the youth of Sonoma Valley, we applaud the museum’s efforts to refresh and reinvent its arts education programs in response to changing needs. Prop 28 and the post-pandemic era have opened up opportunities for organizations such as SVMA to develop new options for art and creativity in Sonoma Valley.”

—Cathy Good, Co-President of Sonoma Plein Air Foundation’s Board of Directors

Keep a fresh eye: Six strategies for visiting some of New England’s art museums

In a candid moment, Nathaniel Hawthorne once described a visit to the British Museum as “an exceedingly tiresome affair,” noting that it “quite crushes a person to see so much; and I wandered from hall to hall with a weary and heavy heart.”

We sympathize with Hawthorne’s benumbed sense of overload. But we bet that “The Scarlet Letter” author didn’t have a plan. New England has its own share of potentially overwhelming art museums, but we have resources that Hawthorne lacked in 1856. We can dial up museums’ websites for everything from floor plans of galleries to collection highlights and calendars of upcoming programs. We can also check for times of free or reduced admissions — perfect for making repeat visits rather than trying to cram everything into one trip. Here are some other strategies for staying fresh. Check websites for details and any additional costs.

No passport required

Some New England museums have specific holdings that rank among the best in the country or even in the world. We think of them as “don’t miss.″ For example, the art and artifacts from ancient Egypt and Nubia at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston ( mfa.org ) are the most extensive and finest of their kind outside of Cairo and Khartoum, respectively. Go for the mummies, certainly, but be prepared to be dazzled by the sculptures.

In Central Massachusetts, Worcester Art Museum ( worcesterart.org ) holds the second-largest collection of arms and armor in the country. Select pieces are displayed throughout the museum with other art from the same period, so don’t be surprised to walk into a gallery and spy a full suit of armor standing sentry in the middle. A dedicated hall for the collection is under construction.

New perspectives

Even the oldest museums with the most venerable collections are always changing. We look for exhibitions that put forward fresh, bold interpretations. The society of ship captains and supercargoes that grew into the Peabody Essex Museum ( pem.org ) dates from 1799, giving PEM a global, cross-cultural perspective. The promise of those riches is realized in the ground-floor exhibition hall devoted to “On This Ground: Being and Belonging in America.″ In 2022, PEM took its collection of American art (including colonial furniture) and merged it with the equally deep collection of Native American art. This maze-like series of exhibit areas presents the two collections in direct, often fascinating dialogue. The juxtapositions show artistic affinities and pointed differences between the experiences of Native and non-Native cultures around the country, with a special emphasis on coastal New England.

Advertisement

Also opened in 2022, the MFA’s “Stories Artists Tell″ fills a suite of galleries with thematic chapters of 20th-century art in the Americas. Some of the museum’s most recognizable works appear side by side with art by less well-known creators. We’re particularly taken with Art and Jazz (gallery 326) that teases out the relation of art, design, and jazz — where an Edward Hopper painting speaks to a beaded flapper gown that speaks in turn to Gibson jazz guitars.

Bloomberg Connects

Thanks to the free smartphone app Bloomberg Connects , we listened as contemporary jazz musicians interpreted five paintings in the MFA exhibit. The app is practically a teleportation device, since it opens the doors at roughly 350 institutions worldwide, including many in New England. We always check what’s available before a visit. At the least the app offers visitor information; at its best it has exclusive audio and video about the art on display. The Institute of Contemporary Art/Boston ( icaboston.org ), for example, offers a series of Soundbites on the app. In video clips, artists talk informally about their work, often making a challenging piece more accessible.

Mark the calendar

Each season we check for upcoming exhibitions that pique our interest. This spring through fall looks especially promising. The Farnsworth Art Museum ( farnsworthmuseum.org ) in Rockland, Maine, for example, might be best known for its collection of work by three generations of Wyeth artists: N.C., Andrew, and Jamie. But the Farnsworth also has the second largest collection of work by Louise Nevelson, born in Ukraine but raised in Rockland. ‶Louise Nevelson: Dawn to Dusk″ (through Sept. 29) traces her career from early paintings to the abstract painted wooden constructions that brought her fame. Also in Maine but later this spring, the Portland Museum of Art ( portlandmuseum.org ) launches a retrospective of Passqamaquoddy master basket artist Jeremy Frey (May 24-Sept. 15). It’s a landmark exhibition of a contemporary Indigenous artist in a general fine art museum.

Different ways of looking

Who knew that art could look so different from the perspective of a yoga mat? The Currier Museum of Art ( currier.org ) in Manchester, N.H., the New Britain Museum of American Art ( nbmaa.org ) in Connecticut, and the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum ( thetrustees.org/place/decordova/ ) in Lincoln all offer yoga programs in the galleries. They range from hourlong classes to full-day yoga retreats. At the deCordova, the galleries overlook the sculpture park through huge windows, so class members are literally surrounded by art. The deCordova also offers monthly full-moon tours of the sculpture grounds. As the days get longer, these transition to “twilight tours.″

Yoga isn’t the only way to slow down and be mindful. According to museum studies, adult museum-goers spend less than 30 seconds looking at any individual work of art. By contrast, the Currier’s docent-led, interactive “Looking Together″ program devotes an entire quarter of an hour to looking at and discussing a single object.

Toast the Creative Spirit

Legendary Boston socialite Isabella Stewart Gardner knew how to throw a party. So does her namesake museum, which invites the world in on the first Thursday of each month ( gardnermuseum.org ). It’s part of a growing trend toward end-of-work-week socializing in the galleries. Details vary but programs often include live music, DJs, art-making, talks, and food and drink. The Wadsworth Atheneum ( thewadsworth.org ) in Hartford also has a first Thursday event, while the Harvard Art Museums ( harvardartmuseums.org ) in Cambridge hold out for the last Thursday. First Fridays are museum soirée nights for the New Britain Museum of Art, the ICA/Boston, and the Farnsworth.

The Most Beautiful Stations on the Moscow Metro

You might have heard that there are some beautiful metro stations in Moscow. Soviet decorations, chandeliers, mosaic painting and statues are common in many of the stations. The good news is that the Moscow Metro does not cost a lot of money and many of the most beautiful stations on the Moscow metro are on the same line, so you can almost get on and off at each station to visit these. Over the New Year holidays, I had a free afternoon and decided to visit some of these stations. Check out what I found below…..

The main stations that you will want to visit are on the Number 5 line, also known as the Circle Line. An advantage of this line is that you can get to it very easily and quickly no matter where you are in Moscow. The announcements on the metro are in Russian as well as English so you don’t need to worry if your Russian language skills are not good.

If, like me, you arrive in Moscow via train from Kyiv , then you will arrive at a metro station which many Muscovites believe to be the most beautiful of them all…..

Kievskaya metro station was opened in 1954 and features white marble walls which curve upwards and have with large mosaics surrounded by a gold trim in a very classical style. The mosaics depict life in Ukraine and was designed by a Ukrainian who wanted to display Ukraine’s influence and contribution to Soviet Russia.

People carrying flags is a common theme

Going into battle

Belorusskaya

If you look at a map of the metro , you will want to go in a clockwise direction on the circle line. So you will want to get on the train going in the Barrikadnaya direction and not Park Kultury. Stay on this line until you reach the 2nd station, Belorusskaya. This station was built in 1952 and like Kievskaya also features white marble pylons and a plaster ceiling.

The ceiling features 12 mosaics in an octagonal shape depicting Belarusian life, while the tiling on the floor is said to resemble a Belarusian quilt. One of the passageway exits of the station has a statue called ‘Belarusian Partisans’ of three men wearing long coats, holding guns and carrying a flag.”

Three men carrying guns, holding the flag…

Mayakovskaya

To get to the next station, we need to change onto the green line (line 2) and go just one stop to the station of Mayakovskaya. This station has an art deco theme and, for some, resembles an elaborate ballroom. The columns are faced with stainless steel and pink rhodonite while the marble walls and ceiling have 34 mosaics with the theme “24-hour Soviet Sky. Apparently, Stalin resided here during the 2nd World War as the station was used as a command post for Moscow’s anti-aircraft regiment.

Novoslobodskaya

It’s time to get back on the metro and return to Belorusskaya. At Belorusskaya, change to the circle line again and continue clockwise to the next station, Novoslobodskaya. With its 32 stained glass panels, this station reminds me of a church. The panels were designed by Latvian artists and are surrounded by a brass border.

The golden trim around artwork is also very common

Prospekt Mira

Back on the metro and again just one stop until our next station, Prospekt Mira. This station was originally called Botanichesky Sad after the nearby Botanical Gardens of the Moscow State University. The pylons are covered in white marble and decorated with floral bas-relief friezes. The ceiling is decorated with casts and several cylindrical chandeliers.

Prospekt Mira metro station

Notice the floral decoration

Komsomolskaya

On the metro once more and once more we are going just one stop to the next station – Komsomolskaya. This station is famous for its its yellow ceiling. The chandeliers in this station are huge. The photos below do not do this station justice.  For me, this station resembles a presidential palace.  You hace to see it for yourself to truly appreciate it.

Because of it’s location, this is one of the busiest stations in the Moscow metro as it serves three of the main train stations in the city – Leningradsky, Yaroslavsky, and Kazansky so be prepared for a lot of people.

Komsomolskaya metro

The yellow ceiling seems to go on forever

Elektrozavodskaya

When you are ready to leave Komsomolskaya metro station behind, then get back on the circle line and go one stop to Kurskaya and change to the blue line (line 3) and go to two stops to the Elektrozavodskaya station. This station gets it’s name from a nearby electric light bulb factory and has a somewhat industrial but also futuristic style, with 6 rows of circular lamps (there are 318 lamps in total). I think this is one of the most beautiful stations on the Moscow metro for how unique it is. The station was opened in 1944 after a delay because of the 2nd World War and features 12 marble bas-reliefs of the struggle on the home front during the war.

Even the station sign is elaborate

Ploschad Revolyutsii

Back on the metro line 3 (but in the other direction), getting off at the 3rd stop – Ploschad Revolyutsii (Revolution Square). This is located underneath the square in Moscow of the same name and is a short walk from Red Square in the city centre. It is the perfect place to end a visit around Moscow’s metro. The station features red and yellow marble arches with a total of 76 sculptures in between each arch. The sculptures are supposed to represent the people of the Soviet Union and include soldiers, farmers, industrial workers, children etc… I noticed a lot of people touching the golden chicken in the photo below as well as the show of the woman. I am assuming that this is for good luck.

These are some of what I think are the most beautiful stations on the Moscow metro. Which ones are your favourite? Would you add any to this list?

Kievskaya definitely caught me off guard. Didn’t know Moscow metro stations were THIS extravagant! Mayakovskaya is gorgeous too with the marble walls and mosaics. I might just need to book a flight over to admire all of these!

Do it! Kievskaya was my first introduction to the Moscow metro as I got an overnight train from Kyiv.

You know, in the States, all we ever hear is bad stuff about Russia. It’s nice to see other (and lovely!) dimensions of such a controversial place.

It’s the same in the UK which is why I prefer going to see somewhere and making up my own mind. It’s all ‘politics and bullshit’ as I say

I went to Moscow about 13years for Christmas and went to train stations, so I can see these amazing mosaics and chandeliers. I agree with you that are beautiful Stations for sure and I could of wandered around for days. I think Kievskaya is definitely my favourite out of them all and I even have some similar pictures as you.

I imagine Moscow would have been a little different 13 years ago but these stations have probably always looked beautiful

Food and Footprints

You chose some great stations for this write up! Beautiful details in these stations and would love to visit them sometime. Particularly like the Komsomolskaya station with that yellow ceiling!

Thank you very much. Komsomolskaya seems to be a lot of peoples favourite stations too

Sumit Surai

Wow! Without the text I would have thought them to be some museum or gallery.

I know exactly what you mean!

Rosie Fluskey

Wow, it is just stunning! How does anyone get to work with so much to look at. I’m surprised at the very bourgeois-looking Komsomolskaya station. I would have thought it was all too Tzarist looking, but then I haven’t been to Russia yet lol. This has just made me want to go more!

Wow, that’s a lot of artwork. I wonder how old some of these pieces are?

Generally most of the stations are from 1940-1960 approximately. The later stations are more functional than style.

My mother-in-law was in Moscow fifty years ago and still raves about the metro stations. So far, I could not imagine much. But now! The pictures are great and I think it’s almost a pity that this splendor is underground. But for every user of the Metro can enjoy a free trip to the world of art. Susanne

True. It is like having a free trip to an art museum/gallery. I hope that you can one day visit Moscow and see for yourself.

Oh wow, I would never have known that these were metro stations. The ceilings remind me of how you need to look up sometimes, even in the commuter rush!

It is true about life in general, we just go from A to B looking directly in front of us instead of around us

Wow, I would have never guessed that these were stations. The decor is so pretty and not one I’m used to seeing at metro stations. Love the ceiling at The Komsomolskaya metro station.

They certainly don’t look like metro stations. The ceiling there is one of my favourites too!

The Moscow Metro Museum of Art: 10 Must-See Stations

There are few times one can claim having been on the subway all afternoon and loving it, but the Moscow Metro provides just that opportunity.  While many cities boast famous public transport systems—New York’s subway, London’s underground, San Salvador’s chicken buses—few warrant hours of exploration.  Moscow is different: Take one ride on the Metro, and you’ll find out that this network of railways can be so much more than point A to B drudgery.

The Metro began operating in 1935 with just thirteen stations, covering less than seven miles, but it has since grown into the world’s third busiest transit system ( Tokyo is first ), spanning about 200 miles and offering over 180 stops along the way.  The construction of the Metro began under Joseph Stalin’s command, and being one of the USSR’s most ambitious building projects, the iron-fisted leader instructed designers to create a place full of svet (radiance) and svetloe budushchee (a radiant future), a palace for the people and a tribute to the Mother nation.

Consequently, the Metro is among the most memorable attractions in Moscow.  The stations provide a unique collection of public art, comparable to anything the city’s galleries have to offer and providing a sense of the Soviet era, which is absent from the State National History Museum.  Even better, touring the Metro delivers palpable, experiential moments, which many of us don’t get standing in front of painting or a case of coins.

Though tours are available , discovering the Moscow Metro on your own provides a much more comprehensive, truer experience, something much less sterile than following a guide.  What better place is there to see the “real” Moscow than on mass transit: A few hours will expose you to characters and caricatures you’ll be hard-pressed to find dining near the Bolshoi Theater.  You become part of the attraction, hear it in the screech of the train, feel it as hurried commuters brush by: The Metro sucks you beneath the city and churns you into the mix.

With the recommendations of our born-and-bred Muscovite students, my wife Emma and I have just taken a self-guided tour of what some locals consider the top ten stations of the Moscow Metro. What most satisfied me about our Metro tour was the sense of adventure .  I loved following our route on the maps of the wagon walls as we circled the city, plotting out the course to the subsequent stops; having the weird sensation of being underground for nearly four hours; and discovering the next cavern of treasures, playing Indiana Jones for the afternoon, piecing together fragments of Russia’s mysterious history.  It’s the ultimate interactive museum.

Top Ten Stations (In order of appearance)

Kievskaya station.

Kievskaya Station went public in March of 1937, the rails between it and Park Kultury Station being the first to cross the Moscow River.  Kievskaya is full of mosaics depicting aristocratic scenes of Russian life, with great cameo appearances by Lenin, Trotsky, and Stalin.  Each work has a Cyrillic title/explanation etched in the marble beneath it; however, if your Russian is rusty, you can just appreciate seeing familiar revolutionary dates like 1905 ( the Russian Revolution ) and 1917 ( the October Revolution ).

Mayakovskaya Station

Mayakovskaya Station ranks in my top three most notable Metro stations. Mayakovskaya just feels right, done Art Deco but no sense of gaudiness or pretention.  The arches are adorned with rounded chrome piping and create feeling of being in a jukebox, but the roof’s expansive mosaics of the sky are the real showstopper.  Subjects cleverly range from looking up at a high jumper, workers atop a building, spires of Orthodox cathedrals, to nimble aircraft humming by, a fleet of prop planes spelling out CCCP in the bluest of skies.

Novoslobodskaya Station

Novoslobodskaya is the Metro’s unique stained glass station.  Each column has its own distinctive panels of colorful glass, most of them with a floral theme, some of them capturing the odd sailor, musician, artist, gardener, or stenographer in action.  The glass is framed in Art Deco metalwork, and there is the lovely aspect of discovering panels in the less frequented haunches of the hall (on the trackside, between the incoming staircases).  Novosblod is, I’ve been told, the favorite amongst out-of-town visitors.

Komsomolskaya Station

Komsomolskaya Station is one of palatial grandeur.  It seems both magnificent and obligatory, like the presidential palace of a colonial city.  The yellow ceiling has leafy, white concrete garland and a series of golden military mosaics accenting the tile mosaics of glorified Russian life.  Switching lines here, the hallway has an Alice-in-Wonderland feel, impossibly long with decorative tile walls, culminating in a very old station left in a remarkable state of disrepair, offering a really tangible glimpse behind the palace walls.

Dostoevskaya Station

Dostoevskaya is a tribute to the late, great hero of Russian literature .  The station at first glance seems bare and unimpressive, a stark marble platform without a whiff of reassembled chips of tile.  However, two columns have eerie stone inlay collages of scenes from Dostoevsky’s work, including The Idiot , The Brothers Karamazov , and Crime and Punishment.   Then, standing at the center of the platform, the marble creates a kaleidoscope of reflections.  At the entrance, there is a large, inlay portrait of the author.

Chkalovskaya Station

Chkalovskaya does space Art Deco style (yet again).  Chrome borders all.  Passageways with curvy overhangs create the illusion of walking through the belly of a chic, new-age spacecraft.  There are two (kos)mosaics, one at each end, with planetary subjects.  Transferring here brings you above ground, where some rather elaborate metalwork is on display.  By name similarity only, I’d expected Komsolskaya Station to deliver some kosmonaut décor; instead, it was Chkalovskaya that took us up to the space station.

Elektrozavodskaya Station

Elektrozavodskaya is full of marble reliefs of workers, men and women, laboring through the different stages of industry.  The superhuman figures are round with muscles, Hollywood fit, and seemingly undeterred by each Herculean task they respectively perform.  The station is chocked with brass, from hammer and sickle light fixtures to beautiful, angular framework up the innards of the columns.  The station’s art pieces are less clever or extravagant than others, but identifying the different stages of industry is entertaining.

Baumanskaya Statio

Baumanskaya Station is the only stop that wasn’t suggested by the students.  Pulling in, the network of statues was just too enticing: Out of half-circle depressions in the platform’s columns, the USSR’s proud and powerful labor force again flaunts its success.  Pilots, blacksmiths, politicians, and artists have all congregated, posing amongst more Art Deco framing.  At the far end, a massive Soviet flag dons the face of Lenin and banners for ’05, ’17, and ‘45.  Standing in front of the flag, you can play with the echoing roof.

Ploshchad Revolutsii Station

Novokuznetskaya Station

Novokuznetskaya Station finishes off this tour, more or less, where it started: beautiful mosaics.  This station recalls the skyward-facing pieces from Mayakovskaya (Station #2), only with a little larger pictures in a more cramped, very trafficked area.  Due to a line of street lamps in the center of the platform, it has the atmosphere of a bustling market.  The more inventive sky scenes include a man on a ladder, women picking fruit, and a tank-dozer being craned in.  The station’s also has a handsome black-and-white stone mural.

Here is a map and a brief description of our route:

Start at (1)Kievskaya on the “ring line” (look for the squares at the bottom of the platform signs to help you navigate—the ring line is #5, brown line) and go north to Belorusskaya, make a quick switch to the Dark Green/#2 line, and go south one stop to (2)Mayakovskaya.  Backtrack to the ring line—Brown/#5—and continue north, getting off at (3)Novosblodskaya and (4)Komsolskaya.  At Komsolskaya Station, transfer to the Red/#1 line, go south for two stops to Chistye Prudy, and get on the Light Green/#10 line going north.  Take a look at (5)Dostoevskaya Station on the northern segment of Light Green/#10 line then change directions and head south to (6)Chkalovskaya, which offers a transfer to the Dark Blue/#3 line, going west, away from the city center.  Have a look (7)Elektroskaya Station before backtracking into the center of Moscow, stopping off at (8)Baumskaya, getting off the Dark Blue/#3 line at (9)Ploschad Revolyutsii.  Change to the Dark Green/#2 line and go south one stop to see (10)Novokuznetskaya Station.
