Lonely Planet review for Pl Iskusstv (Arts Sq)

Just a block east of the Griboedov Canal is the quiet pl Iskusstv (Arts Sq), named after its cluster of museums and concert halls. In the 1820s and 1830s, Carlo Rossi designed this square and the lovely Mikhailovskaya ul, which joins it to Nevsky pr. A statue of Pushkin, erected in 1957, stands in the middle of the tree-lined square. The square is surrounded by the Shostakovich Philharmonia, Brodsky House-Museum, Mussorgsky-Mikhailovsky Theatre, Russian Museum and Museum of Ethnography.
