D65 - Pushkin

AUG14 - Day65 - Moskva - Km5150
 
El Museu Pushkin seria l'equivalent a l'Hermitage de San Petersburg, salvant les diferencies arquitectoniques. Ara l'han dividit en dues parts, amb la qual cosa, veure'l tot requereix pagar dues entrades De totes maneres aixo no em molesta perque tot plegat es massa gran per disfrutar-lo tot en un sol dia. El primer edifici conte les obres des de la civilitzacio egipcia fins a pintures i escultures del segle XVII. El segon edifici conte els darrers 3 segles i una bona seleccio de pintures impressionistes. Encara avui en dia, en els museus russos hi ha dos preus, un per extrangers i un per ciutadans russos, 5 vegades mes barat. Increible que encara l'any 2006 funcioni aquest tracte desigual. Tots dos museus son interessants i recomanables.
 
Time for the cultured soul, let's go to Pushking Museum, now divided into 2 buildings, so to see everything you must pay 2 times. First building (for today) is up to the XVIIIth century, second building (for tomorrow) has the rest, including a great (and very recommendable) collection of impressionists. Double pricing is still used in russian museums today. This means that non-russians pay x5 times what a russian citizen would pay to enter the same place. Yes, this is true. The first day I pay the 10EUR entrance but the second day I remove the smile of my face to look more russian and say with my best language skills "adin biliet". Bingo! This time I only pay 2EUR to get in, they believed I am russian!
