Abstract:
The article describes solving of one of the most important problems of perception of architectural decoration of metro stations: removal of veiling reflections on glazed mosaics and majolica caused by  lighting devices.
A number of lighting methods reducing luminance of the veiling reflections is analysed. 
Their efficiency is exemplified by lighting of the Mine Laying majolica (based on sketches by Eugene Lancer) at the Komsomolskaya station of Moscow Metro. The content of the article relates not only to metro stations but to any areas with reflective or glazed  surfaces.
