There are about 700 fountains in Moscow. Among the most unique is the Fountains of the Arts in a square off Lavrushinsky Lane. Also called Inspiration Fountain, it was erected in 2006 in celebration of the State Tretyakov Gallery’s 150th anniversary. Inside the gilded frames are bronze reproductions of paintings by Ilya Mashkov, Victor Vasnetsov and Arkhip Kuindzhi.
