Until 2018 it was illegal to photograph the Tashkent metro, because it also worked as a nuclear bomb shelter.[4][5]
Design
The architectural decoration of the station is on the theme of space. The metro stop is decorated in bright-colored anodized aluminium. The interior is decorated with blue ceramic medallions with images of Ulugbek, Icarus, Valentina Tereshkova, Yuri Gagarin, Vyacheslav Volkov and Vladimir Dzhanibekov and a mural runs the full length of the loading platform, depicting major space-related events and icons such as Galileo, Sputnik and Yuri Gagarin.[6] The ceiling resembles the Milky Way, which shows glass stars.[7]
