Tretyakov Gallery- June 2

Riding the Moscow Metro is an unexpected experience, especially on the number 3 line near where we are staying. While other lines may have older trains, the trains on this line are smooth enough in most places to stand without holding on for support.

We've spent five hours at the The State Tretyakov Gallery. Their collection consists entirely of Russian art and artists, from early Christian art to 20th century.

There was a really nice show of posters, most were original stone lithographs.

After the museum we visited the Lutheran Church of St Peter and St Paul for an organ concert.
