The station was named in honour of a famous revolutionary Nikolay Bauman (1873-1905).
The theme of the station’s décor is the work at the home front during the Great Patriotic War. The station features pink pylons of Gazgan marble with two perches of red polished porphyry. The sculptures of Red Army men, a Woman Partisan, a Worker and a Farmer and others (sculptor V.Andreev) can be seen in the nieches of the station hall. The mosaic portrait of V.Lenin against fluttering banners is in the end hall of the central hall. The track walls are lined with grey and black marble and the floor is riveted with grey, black and red marble. There are light fittings behind the cornice over the pylons. Bronze and marble grilles hide the ventilation shafts.
The ground-level vestibule is a high pavillion faced on the inside with light Gazgan marble. The vestibule was refaced with ceramic tiles in 1960-ies. There is a mosaic panel over the vault of the escalator tunnel called Glory to the Soviet Army (Artist: I.Rabinovich). The vestibule contains a bust of N.Bauman (sculptor: A.Shlykov).
Exit to: Baumanskaya ulitsa.
