Bryan Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I was in that park in 2003. At that time there wasn't a lot of sculptures to see. Entrance was free at that time. I was in Moscow last year and they have arranged a small counter with entrance fees, so I decided not to go to the park. I noticed in your pictures that some new statues have been put in that park. Is it possible or my memory is not so good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
