Pushkin and Pushkin

So, the other day Karoliina and I decided that we wanted to go the Pushkin museum of fine arts. It houses some of the most famous paintings in the world, such as Degas "Blue Dancers" and Piacasso's Acrabat. So, we left campus, got onto the metro, and off at the right exit. We followed the signs that said Pushkin museum. We found the building went inside, checked our coats and began walking around. At first everything was fine....but then it started to feel wrong. There were no paintings....just books and sketches and manuscripts. Dummies modeling clothing and tables set up with cards and writing stationary. Then it hit us. We were in the wrong museum! We went to the Pushkin Museum...a museum dedicated to life and works of Alexander Pushkin. We felt like such idiots wandering around asking people where the art was. About an hour after we got there we left. We walked for a bit and finally found the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts. Life was much better once we got to the right place, but we thought it was funny story to share. Here's some pictures from the day. The first is inside the Pushkin Museum, the next is the Christ Savior Cathedral and the last is out front of the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts.
