After visiting the Gorky Park museum, I hurried to the observation platform at the roof of the entrance gate. You can get there by stairs or by lift. So here I am, at the top.

Let’s see, what you can see from here. Of course, a platform at the roof of Detsky mir shop at Lubyanka Square has a better view, because it is higher. This one is only 18 meters high. I liked it because here you can look at some well known building from a very new perspective.

The new building of the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art, which is opening on Friday. This building was occupied by the “Vremena goda” restaurant before. I don’t remember the restaurant, but I clearly remember the dilapidated construction. I didn’t like the previous Garage pavilion. It was prohibited to take photos there. I hope, the rules of the new place will be less dumb.
