In the capital of our country there are many interesting places and all kinds of attractions. Often, even the native Muscovites do not know all the museums and parks of their native city. And this is a great reason to walk more on weekends and discover new places. One of the interesting ideas for organizing weekend activities in Moscow is a trip to the Museum Museum. How to get to this attraction?
Museon - what is it?
This place is officially called an art park. Among the people, he has one more name, the national name is the cemetery of sculptures. Indeed, the history of the creation of the park begins in the 90s of the last century. At that time, it was decided to get rid of some of the monuments glorifying Soviet power, leaders and figures of a bygone era. In 1992, a landscaped green area was allocated for the transportation of statues, located not far from the Tretyakov Gallery and the Central House of Artists. The Museon (art park) is located in a relatively small area - only 24 hectares. Today there are 700 sculptures and compositions. What is striking, the monuments of Soviet culture here peacefully coexist with the works of modern authors.
Museon Park: how to get there by public transport

So, we arrive at the necessary station, but where is the Museum Museum, how to get to this place? Tune in for a short walk. From the subway you need to climb into the city using the exit to the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. Next you need to get to Volkhonka street.
