The subway in Omsk began to be built in 1993. It was expected that the first section would be completed in 2016, but due to funding problems, it was not completed. Only a metro bridge appeared near the site.

In 2017, the authorities decided to mothball the project, which, together with the metro bridge, cost the city 14 billion rubles. Later, the underground passage of the station began to be used as a street museum. Local artists were exhibited here.
