SIGHT OF INTEREST
MUSEUMS OF MOSCOW
Moscow Park Iskusstv at Krymsky Val.
A unique open-air sculpture museum founded in 1993, with about 700 works by sculptors of the past and present.
Highlights include Soviet monuments that were removed from their pedestals in the squares and parks of Moscow
after 1991. Among them is the controversial statue of the first Soviet secret police chief Felix Dzerzhinsky,
which communists dream of returning to its former place on Lubyanskaya Ploshchad. The exhibits are placed so
that there is still enough room for pebbled paths, flowerbeds, fountains, a summer cafe and playground.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT MUSEUM:
- 10 Ul. Krymsky Val (beside the Central House of Artists, across the road from Gorky Park)
- M. Oktyabrskaya, Park Kultury.
