Moscow: Day 2



A view of Moscow from Krymskiy Bridge - the exhibition hall I am about to go to is on the right-hand side (The Central House of Artists).











Inside, there was an international exhibition of graphic design, a so-so collection of posters which hung in every way possible throughout the halls. The most striking ones are below. Don't I look like a young Donald Rumsfield? Maybe I am getting delusional.

Moscow: Day 1












Fresh from the airport, to drop off bags at the hotel, which has a beautiful modernist building right across the street (Lesnaya 18) and then off to Pushkin Museum. The museum had a wonderful exhibit, but no pictures can be taken WHATSOEVER, so all I could do is snatch a picture of a beautiful lamp (see below) and the hall before getting yelled at by a militiaman. I will provide the captions to the pictures when I am less tired.
