A Cultural Tour of Moscow
Moscow, Russia
Moscow is undergoing an outbreak of creative energy, visible in all aspects of its creative culture. On your first day there, we would like to take you on a private city-tour with an architect. Moscow’s architecture is a physical reflection of each stage of Russia’s fascinating history - an ideal way to look at the city’s past and see where it is heading. Next is a visit to the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts, where you will see works of Cezanne, Gaugin, van Gogh and Picasso among other impressionist pioneers. Witness how this long-standing venue is expanding into a new complex designed by UK architect Norman Vincent Foster. Contemporary culture is plentiful in Moscow, where former factories and deserted warehouses now house art galleries and underground clubs, bars. We recommend a visit the Garage of Contemporary Culture, and a pit-stop at Vogue, the in place for eclectic cuisine. Of course, Tchaikovsky will live up to its reputation in Moscow theatres; but why not attend premieres by promising composers, choreographers and playwrights - let us do the research for you, and arrange tickets.
