Novoslobodskaya, Metro station in Tverskoy District, Moscow, Russia
Novoslobodskaya is a metro station in Tverskoy District, Moscow, with an island platform, two tracks, and elaborate decoration. The space is defined by pink Ural marble pylons and pointed arches with brass edges that shape its architectural character.
The station opened on January 30, 1952, as part of the Koltsevaya Line connecting Belorusskaya and Prospekt Mira. It represents an early phase of Soviet metro design that brought artistic decoration into everyday public spaces.
The station displays 32 stained glass panels created by Latvian artists, set within brass frames on the pylons throughout the platform. These artworks shape how the space feels and make it a place where art and public transport merge.
Visitors can transfer to Mendeleyevskaya station on the Serpukhovsko-Timiryazevskaya Line through an underground passage. The station is easy to navigate with clear signage and well-defined boarding areas.
A mosaic titled 'Peace Throughout the World' by artist Pavel Korin stands at the platform's end and completes the artistic vision. This work is often overlooked despite being a focal point of the space.
