This rare exhibition catalog, published for a 2013 showcase at the Kazansky Railway Station, documents the history of one of Moscow’s most iconic architectural landmarks. Inside, you will find unique materials tracing the design and construction of the station, drawn from the collection of the Museum of Architecture.
The catalog highlights the architectural competition of the 1910s for the new Kazansky Station building, which was ultimately won by Alexey Shchusev. A key exhibit featured is the original 1915 architectural model of the station, created as the author's design model. The catalog also dedicates a separate section to the station’s restaurant, showcasing its pre-revolutionary décor. This includes a model of the restaurant’s interior decoration, sketches for the ceiling paintings by Eugene Lanceray (including a 1916 plafond sketch and 1930s mural sketches), and graphic works by E. Ya. Tamonkin depicting the restaurant interior. This is a valuable resource for architecture enthusiasts and historians of early 20th-century Russian design.
