Rolling Underground Museum !!

This is probably my 5th post about the Moscow Metro subway, but it is an important (and convenient) part of the daily life here.   After taking over 100 rides, I finally lucked into a ride on the Museum Train earlier today with Darya and Anastasiya.   

Anastasiya's been able to ride it a few times before, so she was immediately excited when the train pulled up as it's visible from the outside (special murals even on the outside of the train cars).   They've removed about half the seats from every car on the museum subway train and placed beautiful scenic and patriotic artwork in their place.  As an engineer, and a fan of russian art - getting to experience some great art while being whisked underground at high speed to our destination was an awesome experience.
