Alexey Dushkin’s station with slender metal columns and mosaics in the vaults.
Mayakovskaya opened in 1938. Architect Alexey Dushkin used slim columns and steel arches to give the hall an open feel despite the depth of the station.
Mosaics based on Alexander Deineka’s designs sit in the domes above the platform. Stand below a dome and look up to see them clearly.
