My cousins and I took a tour here a few weeks ago. I had no idea this attraction was basically right in our back yard! They have a museum we looked at while waiting for our tour to start. First we went to a log cabin and watched a 10 min video about the founder. Then we went down to the classroom to go over mine safety. Next we got our hard hats and headed into the car to take us into the mine. This was the coolest part. We got to get out and walk around the mine. Our guide also showed us the different machines and how they are used. This tour was so fun! I highly recommend this tour. I want to come back for their Halloween celebration! One thing to note: the cars going into the mine are pretty low. If you have knee issues or mobility issues, it may be difficult to get in and out of the cars.

Awesome thing to do locally and learn so much from. Kids have a blast. Note to parents and all. Bundle up. Even in summer take a sweater or hoodie with you it's COLD down in them mines! Stopped up for the Haunted Mine experience and man they do a great job setting that up and working on it from April - October for a well done finished product! Get there early or you'll be waiting a LONG time as it is with all the haunted attractions I guess. For sure come check them out. You'll have to come twice. Once to see the mine and do the tour and again to enjoy the frights, screams, and scares!

I highly recommend for the Halloween season especially if you like haunted houses. They do a phenomenal job. The props, the actors, the theatrics, are all to perfection. Even if you don't think you will be scared, be prepared to be scared. It really is fun and scary too. Really really worth the entrance price.

As part of our trip to Pittsburgh we decided to check out the mine tour! When arriving you will get a briefing in the "classroom" about some facts about coal mining. You will then head down about 1/2 mile into the mine in the coal car which you will then get out and do a walking tour around the mine showing old time mining up till now. This tour was very informative and Nick was a really great guide knowing his facts and being able to answer questions from the group with no problem.

Ever wanted to see a coal mine? Here's your chance. This is a great activity to take grade school and up children. Heck I was in college and I still found it fascinating since I am the granddaughter of a coal miner. I never met him; he died in a mine before I was born. The very beginning when you walk in the antiquated dusty gift shop to get yoru ticket makes you wonder if you want to go on this little excursion into a coal mine. You do. Just get past the dusty and creepiness. And don't buy any candy that is as antique as the coal equipment you're looking at. Creepy gift shop is why I am detracting a star. The tour itself is awesome and five stars. The owner was also our tour guide. Wear Jeans! and good solid close toed shoes/boots with tread. No cowboy boots. You will be given a hard hat. After a brief talk, you slide into a covered, low slung, underground train and begin your descent into the mine. You'll get out of the underground coal miner train and learn quite a lot about how a coal mine works. Watch your head, You'll have to walk hunched over through a few places. Of course the annoying yuppie soccer mom who kept squealing when water dripped on her plowed her head into the ceiling while taking more pictures of her kids. It was nice to be able to go behind a ceiling beam and snicker at her in the dark. Overall, Its a great learning experience.less than an hour from Pittsburgh.

When my husband and I were driving toward this business, we saw no other cars or people, so my husband mentioned that we could turn around and go home. I insisted that we keep driving, and I am glad that we did. When we reached the entrance, we saw two employees sitting outside. They greeted us, and they began our tour immediately. We toured a museum of antiques. Then we sat in a room for a brief educational lecture about mining. My favorite part was riding down and up 0.5 miles in the coalmine. I also enjoyed seeing what an underground mine looks like and how the equipment and machinery function, and I appreciated the hard work that miners did decades ago and do today. The grounds also have an old train and historical houses on them.

I have been on several difderent coal mine tours and this one was probably the best one. Before you go underground they have you in a room and go over the basics of what a miner did. Then when you go underground the train is really old and gives you a feel of what it is really like to work in a mine. Ince underground the guide shows the ways of mining from when it started to how its done now and the equipment still turns on.

Cons: cramped cart, helmets will fall off, don't try it if you are over 6' 3" and/or have bad knees, arriving at an obscure time is not necessarily a good idea, come with cash; they don't take plastic. That said, this is one of the best things you can do in Pittsburgh. This hidden gem (getting there can be problematic and you can't follow the GPS entirely) is a former mine led by a former miner. The main floor when you come in has been left as authentic as they can make it with lots of neat trinkets around, including house and business displays and old fashioned toys. The tour guides are used to having kids come through, so prepare for lots of "Dora the Explorer" moments (ie: Who knows what coal is used for?), but it is a lot of fun, very informative, and feel free to ask whatever you want. They may not know the answer, but they know enough to give an educated guess.

This place is really interesting. We were fortunate enough to get some tickets from a friend and we had a great time here. The tour guides are retired miners and really knew their stuff. It was fascinating to get a tour through history of the different mining techniques used from the 1800's to the present. It was also interesting to see the mining equipment turned on. What a noise!! We had 2 small kids with us, so I'm not sure that we got the full immersion experience; nevertheless, they showed us the very clever cone-and-rope escape system for when the lights go out. The museum above-ground is worth some exploration. Lots of artifacts from the time and the guides/miners were more than willing to answer all of our questions. Given that we still get a large percentage of our energy from coal in this country, every person should visit exhibits like this to understand the risks and efforts that it takes to allow all of us to flip a switch and have the lights come on. Something that we all take for granted way too often.

Take a Trip Into a Coal Mine at the Tour-Ed Mine & Museum

Virtually everyone knows about Pittsburgh's steel history. You may even know that the city was a big producer of glass and iron as well. But did you know that the area was also a big coal producer too? 

While coal mining was necessary for steel production, there were numerous uses for this bountiful material found in the area- and coal mining boomed for several centuries.

One mine decided to close down in the mid-1900s, despite sitting on a large deposit of coal, and converted the area into an educational museum in order to highlight the history of coal mining in the region. They became the Tour-Ed Mine & Museum, and this spot has been operating educational tours for over 50 years!

The Tour-Ed Mine Offers a Glimpse into the History of Mining

A visit to the Tour-Ed Mine & Museum can be broken up into multiple phases.

When you first arrive, you'll be able to explore a small museum on the property featuring mining artifacts, exhibits of what life was like living in a coal town, and a facade of a general store that was owned by the mine itself. The latter is by far the most fascinating exhibit, because it highlights the fact that many early miners were not paid in currency, but rather credit to be used in the village where the mine owned virtually all the stores.

This sets the stage for what you see later, as working conditions for early miners was abysmal at best.

The second part of the museum experience is the tour, which begins with a few short videos showing what life was like for early miners and the challenges they faced, including child labor problems, low pay, and numerous health issues to name a few.

Finally, you head deep into the mine to see numerous exhibits highlighting how mining was performed from the early 1800s until today. This gives a great insight into the improvements made in mining technology and safety over the years (specifically in only just the last few decades), and since the tour guides are current and former miners it really helps drive home the point quite well.

Regardless of your views of coal mining in general, the Tour-Ed Mine & Museum does a great job at highlighting the history of mining deep inside a once-active coal mine. For that reason alone, I really enjoyed the tour.

The Mine is a Tight Space, But Not Too Claustrophobic

Now, it is worth pointing out that a trip into the mine is a bit of a tight space. Your journey into the mine for the exhibits starts with a people-mover that is only a few feet tall and goes on a rather tight trip down into the mine.

When you're seeing the exhibits, the ceiling is not much taller than about 5′-9″ (my height almost perfectly), and is only just a bit wider at most points as well.

As such, those who are claustrophobic may have reason to pause. However, the entire experience felt quite safe and controlled (other than the brief moment when the guide turns off the lights to show what real working conditions were like in the 1800s).

If you are not a fan of tight spaces, I would say that this tour is not the worst thing we've ever done. In fact, I would say it is more uncomfortable for taller individuals who will have to crouch down during the roughly 30-minute tour in the mine. Thankfully, there are also places to stop and sit at the various exhibits as well, so even taller individuals should be quite fine.

Overall, the Tour-Ed Mine & Museum is a great opportunity to learn more about what mining was like over the eras, and the museum does a fantastic job showing off mining history, challenges, and advancements. 

For those who want to take a deep dive into this fascinating topic, a visit to this museum is a must!

The Tour-Ed Mine & Museum is located at 3004, 748 Bull Creek Road in Tarentum, PA and is cash only.

After your visit , go grab a beer at the Leaning Cask , ice cream at Glen's Custard , or go hike at Deer Lakes Park !

How long does the mine tour take and what does it consist of, aside of (presumably) a ride in that yellow cart you show and the 30 minutes walk under a low ceiling?

The tour inside the mine itself is about 30 minutes and you get to see the historic equipment. But they also have a museum space outside of the mine itself that you can explore at your own pace when not in the mine. Most visitors will probably be there for 60-90 minutes depending on when they go into the mine.

Uncovering Pittsburgh’s Mining History at the Tour-Ed Mine and Museum

It is well known how Pittsburgh’s steel industry helped build the city, the region, and the country, but few think about the raw materials that are required to power such enormous factories.

While a variety of raw materials are needed to fuel the plants, coal was one of the most important. While coal is typically more associated with the anthracite fields of northeastern PA, there were (and still are) coal mines in western Pennsylvania.

The coal mined in southwestern PA was often turned into coke, which would then power the steel mills at places like Carrie Furnace at the Homestead Steel Works.

One of these coal mines was the Avenue Mine near Tarentum in the northeastern corner of Allegheny County .

Coal mining at this site began in 1850 and continued for more than 100 years. Finally, in the late 1960s, the mine was closed despite there being a large amount of coal still in the ground. In 1970, the newly-renamed Tour-Ed Mine as was open for tours and education about coal mining.

Today, the Tour-Ed Mine is still open for those wanting to go underground and learn more about the history of coal mining, how it was done, and how it impacted the region.

The Tour-Ed Mine is located atop a hill just off of Route 28 near where Allegheny County meets Armstrong, Butler, and Westmoreland Counties.

The above-ground portion of the museum features a cabin from the late 18th century that was moved to this spot in the 1970s and features a short, but rather old film about coal. While the cabin is neat to see given its age, the video probably isn’t worth watching unless you need to kill some time before the tour starts as most of the information is covered in the introduction given by guides.

The second building is where you buy tickets to tour the site, a gift shop, and the mine’s museum.

The museum features many great artifacts, but many lack signage making it a bit hard to decipher what the pieces are and how they fit into the context of the mine. However, there is a miniature model of the mine as it would look without the ground above it, which does offer some great perspective and helps you better understand the layout when you go underground.

The chance to go underground into a real coal mine is, not surprisingly, the highlight of any visit to the Tour-Ed Mine.

Tours start from the basement of the museum building and begin with a video that offers a bit of history on how coal is formed. While it is definitely a bit old, it does do a good job of showcasing the information.

Tours are led by old coal miners and they are able to offer a ton of fantastic information about how coal mining works and what life was like for the miners who worked here.

It’s also worth noting for those that may be leary of going inside an old coal mine, the mine is inspected daily by certified mine inspectors, and it is also regularly checked by state officials to ensure its integrity.

After grabbing hardhats (If you are over 5 feet tall, you’ll really appreciate having one), tours continue by hopping into a yellow mining vehicle that takes you deep into the mine. This vehicle sits quite low to the ground as the passageway into the mine is sometimes less than four feet tall.

If you’ve toured other coal mines in Pennsylvania, the trip in follows a flat path into the mountain like the Pioneer Tunnel Coal Mine Tour and the Number 9 Coal Mine in northeastern Pennsylvania.

After about half a mile, the mine car comes to a stop more than 150 feet underground in the heart of the mine.

Even with your hardhat, be careful exiting the vehicle as the ceiling is quite low here. This is a common theme throughout the mine. Fortunately, at every stop we made, I was able to either find a spot where I could stand without an issue or there was a bench I could sit on. (For reference, I’m 6’2″, so if you’re taller than me, you might have a bit of an issue. On the other hand, if you’re under six feet tall, you should be fine for the most part.)

There are a handful of stops on the walking tour of the mine, and at each stop, visitors are shown a different era of mining and how coal was removed from the ground. I thought this was an excellent way of showing mining history, and it really gave me an appreciation for how the technology changed and made the work of the miners safer and easier. 

My favorite part, however, was that each stop on the tour had working pieces of machinery. These ranged from small, hand-powered tools to very large automatic mining machinery. These working pieces of equipment really brought the experience to life, especially having visited other coal mines, like the Lackawanna Coal Mine Tour in Scranton , that have great information, but more static displays.

All told, tours last about an hour, of which about 30 minutes is underground inside the mine. After exiting the mining vehicle at the end of the tour, guides show visitors a few more large pieces of modern mining equipment that are located next to the mine entrance. These newer pieces really complete the story of mining in western Pennsylvania.

Overall, I really found the Tour-Ed Mine and Museum to be quite interesting. While the museum could use a bit of modernization and extra signage, the time underground is well worth the cost of admission.

So, if you want to learn more about the industrial history of Pennsylvania or simply want to see what it’s like in a coal mine (It’s really different from a cavern), definitely take time to visit the Tour-Ed Mine and Museum in Allegheny County, PA .

Exploring the Tour-Ed Coal Mine and Museum Near Pittsburgh

You can’t understand the industrial history of Pennsylvania without understanding the history of coal mining in the state, and the Tour-Ed Coal Mine and Museum is a great place to learn all about it!

Located 20 minutes north of downtown Pittsburgh, the Tour-Ed Coal Mine and Museum features both an underground trip into a real coal mine , and a museum of mining-related artifacts on the surface.

History of the Tour-Ed Coal Mine

Mining activity at what was once called the Avenue Mine dates back as far as the 1850s, and continued there until the 1960s.

Ira Wood acquired the Avenue Mine in 1964 and embarked on a plan to convert the mine into a tourist attraction, to share the history and heritage of coal mining in Western PA.

When you visit what Mr. Wood renamed the Tour-Ed Coal Mine and Museum, one of the first buildings you’ll see is a log cabin that dates back to 1789.

Inside, you can watch a video about the life of Ira Woods and his vision for the coal mine and museum.

Exploring the Tour-Ed Coal Mine Museum

You can break down your visit to the Tour-Ed Coal Mine and Museum into two parts – one above ground, and one below!

The above-ground part consists of the museum and some additional mining-related equipment displayed near the parking area.

The museum features items from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, items that you would have found both in the mines and in the homes of coal miners in those time periods.

You’ll see a wide variety of coal mining-related tools, safety gear, and knick-knacks as you make your way in a loop around the museum.

As previously mentioned, near the parking area you’ll also see an assortment of mining-related equipment, including a caboose from the coal-hauling Pittsburg and Shawmut Railroad (not a typo – the railroad was chartered in 1899 when Pittsburgh was commonly spelled without the “h”).

Exploring the Tour-Ed Coal Mine

The highlight of a visit to the Tour-Ed Coal Mine is the chance to go underground – a half-mile underground to be precise!

The tour guide gives an initial introduction to the mine and distributes hard hats in this “coal classroom” in the basement of the museum.

Then visitors board an enclosed mine cart for the ride into the mine, which feels slightly cramped but not claustrophobic-cramped.

The tours are conducted by retired coal miners , so I felt like I was in capable hands as we rode for what seemed like 6-7 minutes to our destination 160 feet below the surface of the Earth.

The mine cart stops a half-mile into the mine, and visitors disembark for the walking portion of the tour.

Here you’ll visit a series of stations that depict coal mining methods and safety measures in different eras , from the 1850s to modern times.

These aren’t mere static exhibits either – at each station the tour guide briefly powers up the mining equipment , so you can see and hear exactly how this equipment worked.

Seeing this equipment in action really helped me gain a greater understanding and appreciation for how hard this line of work was and is, regardless of the era.

The underground portion of the tour lasts approximately 30 minutes , then you board the mine cart for the ride back to the surface.

Hours and Directions

The Tour-Ed Museum is open Memorial Day through Labor Day , with tours given Wednesday-Sunday at 10 am, 12 pm, and 2 pm.

Admission prices are adults $9.50 and children 12 & under $9.00.

The Tour-Ed Coal Mine and Museum is located at 748 Bull Creek Road, Tarentum, PA 15084.

The Tour-Ed Coal Mine also hosts a Haunted Mine Halloween attraction weekends in October – check their OFFICIAL WEBSITE for more info.

Tour-Ed Mine in Fawn offers lessons in underground history

Go beyond the typical tour and get really down-to-earth with a trip under Fawn Township.

Dubbed the “Coalest” Pittsburgh attraction, Tour-Ed Mine and Museum in Fawn offers educational underground coal mine tours 160 feet below ground.

Dating back to the 1850s and formerly the once-active Avenue Mine, its workers provided coal for Pittsburgh’s steel industry, including Allegheny Steel and other U.S. steel companies.

Tour-Ed opened as a non-profit, offering tours in 1968.

Tours of this old coal mine are led by former coal miners, providing a first-hand glimpse into the harsh and backbreaking work that coal miners performed, originally with a simple pick, shoveling coal into a nearby donkey-powered cart.

“Back in the day, there were thousands of coal mines in Pennsylvania,” says Tour-Ed president Bob Black. “Now there are only about 50.”

Tours commence in an above-ground classroom, with guests experiencing a short tutorial, video and safety information on coal mining.

Next up is the required hairnet and hard hat and a ride in a real “man trip” coal car that transports visitors underground for a 30-minute guided tour that includes live demonstrations, authentic mining tools and coal mining methods.

Tour groups are limited to 25 or fewer on each excursion and the mine undergoes regular inspections to ensure safety.

“It validates what you did for a living all of your life,” says Black, himself a retired coal miner from Penn Hills. “The most important aspect is that we are able to share the history of mining with people visiting from all over the world.”

Tour-Ed welcomes almost 7,000 visitors annually from as far away as Iceland, Japan and Germany.

And the most asked question about the mine?

“People always want to know how dark it really gets in the coal mine,” says Black.

Five different rail guides, all retired Pennsylvania coal miners, demonstrate the darkness factor during tours — turning off the lights and temporarily immersing the tours into a quiet and complete darkness.

During the 1800’s a single wax candle mounted on a soft fabric hat was the only source of light for a miner who routinely logged 12 to 14 hours a day underground.

Tour guide Joe Berardone, 69, worked the mines more than 13 years. He describes his years in the mine as “dusty, loud and dirty” and recently instructed wide-eyed third-graders touring from St. Margaret of Scotland School in Greentree on how coal was dug by hand in the 1850s and the subsequent progression to hydraulic modern machinery today.

“The coal (Freeport) seam goes for miles and miles and miles,” Berardone says. “It’s always about 50 degrees in the mine.”

Brady Jenkins, a third-grader from St. Margaret, had never seen a coal mine before.

“I learned that it is really dark inside a mine and they used a machine that looked like something from ‘Star Wars,’ ” Jenkins says.

Tours highlight several components of coal mining conditions or happenings, such as rats in the mines (coal miners would feed them food scraps from their lunches), the practice of taking a live canary in a cage down in the mine for air/oxygen safety monitoring and the fact that the mines never had bathroom facilities.

“The canary was used until the early 20th century and the bird could detect a lack of oxygen, as they breathe faster than human beings. So, when the canary fell off of its perch, the miners would move them to fresher air,” Black says.

St. Margaret classmate Mayra Nee said she learned about how women fared during the early coal mining years.

“I really liked it because we got to go underground and into a cave where they mine. We learned that the ceiling is only 3 feet high in the cave. In the museum, we got to see how the girls lived in the 1900s and all of the things they used around the home. We learned how the mom did all of the work and the dad earned the money,” Nee says.

Learn more about the heritage of coal mining in Western Pennsylvania as you tour the Coal Miners Museum — offering thousands of historical pieces on display, a 1785 log home, a strip mine, saw mill and a replica of an 1850s coal miner’s home. Pack a picnic and plan on spending several hours exploring the 13-acre Ira Wood Park, named for the late Tour-Ed founder.

Tours have no minimum age limit (babies are allowed) and reservations are recommended for groups of 24 or more.

For Black, operating Tour-Ed keeps him tied to his memories of decades working in Western Pennsylvania mines with men he described as “family” to him. He is especially proud to share the Tour-Ed experience with students on school field trips.

“The kids love it,” Black says. “They all come in a little tentative and they don’t know what to expect, but they come out happy as a pig in a blanket after the tour.”

Experience what it was like to be a coal miner in the 1850s and today. Your guides are real coal miners who will treat you to an amazing, educational tour 160 feet below the earth’s surface. It’s one of the most unique family attractions in Pittsburgh!

The earliest record of mining activity at the site of Tour-Ed Mine was in 1850. Known later as the Avenue Mine, it was operated by Allegheny Steel and mined by the Leechburg Mining Company. The coal extracted during this period was used locally at the Allegheny Steel Plant in Brackenridge and also shipped by rail throughout the nation.

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.
