Soviet metro architects and artists turned underground spaces into real galleries and works of art, accessible to every passenger.
The design of the Cosmopolitan metro station reflects both the achievements of the Soviet Union as a whole and the contribution of the Uzbek SSR to space exploration. The station opened in 1984. Its walls are decorated with twelve medallions depicting scientists, cosmonauts and symbolic figures, from outstanding figures in science to heroes of the space age. Among them are Mirzo Ulogbek, whose astronomical research has become part of the region's scientific heritage, and Vladimir Dzhniyivkov, a native of the Tashkent region who participated in space exploration. The station also pays tribute to Yuri Gagarin, the first man in space, and Alexei Leonov, who performed the first spacewalk.
