Baumanskaya (Бауманская) is a station on the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya Line of the Moscow Metro, named after the revolutionary Nikolai Bauman. It was designed by Boris Iofan and Yu.P. Zenkevich and opened in 1944. The Art Deco design features white marble pylons with rounded corners, projecting, fluted piers faced with red ceramic tile, and decorative ventilation grilles. In the bays between each set of piers are bronze sculptures by V.A. Andreev depicting Russian soldiers and workers of the home front during World War II. At the end of the platform is a mosaic portrait of Vladimir Lenin.
[edit] Interesting facts
A very strange manuscript is on the wall of station. It is situated near the first car stop towards the Shcholkovskaya station just under the last ventilation lattice. The inscription is deeply carved in marble on about 120 cm above the flour, about 8 cm in length and 1,5 cm in height. It consists of two dates, divided by hyphen. They are written just like that: 19 14/XI 46 - 19 15/XII 54 (14/11/1946 - 15/12/1954). That way of writing is very similar to the way dates are written on graves. The origin of that artefact is unknown. For further information see here (Russian).
