Today we decided to check out the modern art at the new State Trekyakov Gallery. First we had lunch at Pizza Hut (they were advertising a "business lunch special"). That was a mistake. It was 210 rubles, and you got a personal pizza w/2 toppings, a salad bar visit, and a drink. What I didn't realize is that menus in Russia advertise anything possible, not what they have on stock. I ordered a cheese and mushroom pizza that was ok, but small. The salad bar was one trip only, and was a Russian salad (whole vegtables and fruit, not like american salads). They only gave me the equivelant of a shot glass of Pepsi (it was a normal glass that was only 1/3 of the way full). This was about $7 total. Not going to Pizza hut in Russia again! Sorry so many of my posts have been about food, I just love food!
After lunch we went to what we thought was the gallery (we got lost), but ended up being a "house of art"(we wondered why all the art was on sale!). We eventually found the gallery, and I was pleased with it. I think I like modern art the most. The tickets to both places were cheap (50- 150 rubles ($1.50-$5.00) ). I think art museums are an elitist thing in the US, and that's why they cost more (the High in ATL is $20 per person!). Also, it is a government gallery, which may be why the cost was so cheap.
