Uzbekistan – Stunning Subway System

The Tashkent subway system was opened in 1977.  From then up until June 2018, it was illegal for anyone to take a photograph of the subway.

Chandeliers, marbled surface, a tribute to the first woman into space, and much more help to make this subway system quite stunning.

Belarus – Rhombicuboctahedron Building

The top part of the National Library of Belarus in Minsk is in the shape of a Rhombicuboctahedron. That is, it has eight triangular and eighteen square faces. It is said to be one of the best libraries in the world. The National Library of Belarus opened in 1922. However, on the 16th June 2006 a new building, which took several years to complete, was opened. The library has over 8 million items in it, and this includes over 70,000 manuscripts, graphics, visual and audio documents. This twenty-two-story building also has a book museum, twenty reading halls, a sky deck and a center for international meetings and negotiations.   Notes: https://www.belarus.by/en/about-belarus/architecture/national-library https://www.nlb.by/en/about-the-library/
