Sunday 10th October
Sunday begins with a visit to The Golden Age of Flemish Painting
at The Museum of Fine Arts on Volkhonka Street.
|
Striding purposefully along the streets of Moscow,
it looks like Emily is in the lead at this point.
|
|
|
After getting several conflicting suggestions from people we had
asked for directions, Jim and Yulya pick a likely looking
street to explore
|
|
Though the route was not as direct as we had intended, we arrive
at Pushkin Museum.
|
|
|
and stop for some photographs of this unexpected event.
|
|
In the foyer at the entrance to the Museum.
|
|
|
Jim Head and Anne Cote wait for the rest of us to get
our tickets.
|
|
Yulya and Nicole in the Museum.
|
|
|
Then we make our way down the grand stair case to make our exit
from the Museum.
|
The second cultural event of the day was a concert at the
Conservatory Grand Hall in Bolshaya Nikitskaya St.
|
Where the Moscow State Academy Philharmonica performs
F. Chopin's Sonata for piano, Sonata for piano &
violoncello, 4 scherzo
|
|
The concert includes the Chopin work which has achieved fame
as the funeral march - which was almost eerily prophetic for
Paul and I.
|
|
|
A last look at the Conservatory.
|
|
Then back on the Metro for our trip home.
|
|
|
This could have been the last picture of Paul..
